Is income and wealth distribution still a problem in America today? Why or why not?

History

Tema [17]3 years ago
6 0

Bold prediction: Rising inequality of income and wealth will be the most important political battleground over the next few decades.

Just take a look at the figures. The share of income accruing to the top 1 percent increased from 9 percent in 1976 to 20 percent in 2011. The richest 0.1 percent controlled 7 percent of the wealth in 1979 and 22 percent of the wealth in 2012. Meanwhile, there are a number of studies out there showing that the most effective way to reduce this inequality would be higher taxes on income and wealth, but the rich won’t let it happen.

Consider also this: The rise of income inequality and wealth inequality are intimately connected, and causes all sorts of problem over the long term. As Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman write,

Income inequality has a snowballing effect on the wealth distribution: top incomes are being saved at high rates, pushing wealth concentration up; in turn, rising wealth inequality leads to rising capital income concentration,which contributes to further increasing top income and wealth shares.

Who were bonnie and clyde and how did their actions affect the midwestern united states during the early 1930s?
Montano1993 [528]
Bonnie Parker was born on October 1, 1910, in Rowena, Texas. After meeting Clyde Barrow in 1930, Parker eventually entered a world of crime. Robbing banks and small businesses with her partner and affiliated gang, she became one of America's most infamous outlaws of the '30s. Their almost two-year crime spree spanned several states, with the gang responsible for the murder of several people that included law enforcement officials.

Bonnie and Clyde had many immediate effects and several long term effects on society. One of the biggest short-term effects was the loss families had after Bonnie or Clyde killed someone. One long-term effect was the fictionalized ideas of what Bonnie and Clyde were.

There were many short term effects that Bonnie and Clyde had on the society around them. The biggest short-term effect was the loss families had to deal with after Bonnie and Clyde had Killed one of their family members. Another short-term effect was obviously the change in the police officers lives that were after them, especially retired Texas Ranger Frank Hamer, who was specially brought in to take down Bonnie and Clyde.

While the long-term effects made by Bonnie and Clyde were not as significant to their immediate effects, they are still a large part of society today. One of the long-term effects created by these two was the fictionalized ideas of what the couple was. Even though they were bank robbers they never really had a lot of money and they often camped out and were constantly on the run. Another long-term effect that Bonnie and Clyde had on society is their reputation. When anyone thinks of classic bank robbers, two that instantly comes to mind are Bonnie and Clyde.
