Class in America Blog

While the essay does not say that the wealthy are exploiting the poor that is the general idea I got from the essay. The idea that the wealthy just keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer, and they do this because the rich use the poor for cheap layer and the poor cannot avoid this because they are trapped within their class. Though the rich are not expressly exploiting the poor, they are inadvertently doing so by not raising wages of their workers and continually passing their money down an inheritance line, where their kids will have better opportunities for success and will thus stay in the rich class, whereas the poor kids will not have the same opportunities. This data is fairly one sided and shows the increasing differences within the classes in the United States. It states the ever increasing affluence of the wealthy and shows the great advantages they have over the poor while highlighting all the disadvantages that the poor have. Though it is an unpleasant situation and one that could not be easily rectified, it is a current problem within our nation.
