In America's Capitalistic Academy has made the 'rich' richer but also has made the poorer richer as the amount of money has increased dramatically despite the uneven distribution of that money and income.America's economic distribution,but "the land of oppurtunity's" Loss of opportunity

As American jobs require more skill,we must also invest more in our schools to allow youth to obtain these high-skill jobs and aid in their families' vertical movement.Many people who cannot afford to live in the suburbs or enroll into a private education,enroll in public education where the the quality of teaching may be less and effects their preparedness to enter into a job or profession compared to education in other countries.]]> 2017-03-21 18:50:32 UTC https://padlet.com/elahudson/jal264id14gj/wish/161630545 Eduardo Guzman https://padlet.com/elahudson/jal264id14gj/wish/161630678 "The subsequent fragmentation in education...

"The top 1 percent may complain about the kind of government we have in America, but in truth they like it just fine: too gridlocked to redistribute, too divided to do anything but lower taxes."

Increasing inequality is only promoted by the government and it's "hands-off approach

"The rules of economic globalization are likewise designed to benefit the rich: They encourage competition among countries for business, which drives down taxes on corporations, weakens health and environmental protections, and undermines what used to be viewed as the "core" labor rights, which include the right to collective bargaining."

Knowing that workers can be exploited in other countries because the value of a dollar is far greater encourages the 1% that have businesses to branch overseas and save money. And because the government doesn't prevent this from happening, the poor stay poor and the rich get richer.

laborsaving technologies have reduced the demand for many "good" middle-class, blue-collar jobs. "Globalization has created a worldwide marketplace, pitting expensive unskilled workers in America against cheap unskilled workers overseas."
The top 1 percent try to secure their wealth by focusing labour offfseas, high tarrifs would discourage them from offshoring, although it might affect normal trading affecting the buying power because something is more expensive.

Lowering tax rates on capital gains, which is how the rich receive a large portion of their income, has given the wealthiest Americans close to a free ride. Monopolies and near monopolies have always been a source of economic power"

This is why we need programmes and services such as FASFA that distribute the Pell Grant to students who can't afford to pay for higher education.
Today High School Diplomas and GEDs mean nothing, because the only way to get a quality job with enough pay is to get a degree and become highly specialized in a specific area. If someone can't afford universities or colleges then they are basically stuck in there conditions

"chools with high concentrations of poor students tend to have older buildings that are more in need of maintenance, less qualified teachers, less challenging and advanced curricula, fewer books, fewer computers, and fewer Internet connections."

This is why poor students trend to have a lower value of education, it doesn't promise anything or give hope to the future. Everyone expects to and is expected to do what their peers are doing. If the government world allot a considerable amount of funds in order to raise the quality of education if impoverished communities then eventually the impoverished will cease to exist.

"Meanwhile, unemployment insurance is typically limited to six months of benefits, with many

eligible workers qualifying for even less... only about

40 percent of all unemployed workers qualify for benefits"

Those who can work should be able to work. Businesses should be able to control the person wages on their past experience or the reason why they can't work.

Half of the poor are now classified as in "extreme poverty"—described as living in families earning below 50 percent of the poverty line. The percent of children who are food insecure also increased to 18 percent in 2010. This growth translates into an additional 750,000 children nationwide who are malnourished."

Children can't work enough hours to fend for themselves because the government requests them to bed in school and prevents them from working until the age of 16. This is the same government that provides welfare to help parents stuck in the detrimental cycle of "teen nonmarital birth" which often times leaves mother's helpless and unable to support their children. These teens are then unable to "get off welfare" because they don't have the funds to raise a child, sustain themselves, and post for the higher education they need to escape poverty. This being said, the government is responsible for these impoverished children that were born into the same poverty their parents live in because it doesn't help them.
