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

History

Tema [17]4 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.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

I have re uploaded the map with the areas explored by each country.

Spain - we can see that Spain explored the totality of Mexico, and that is why Mexico is still a Spanish-Speaking country. Spain also explored the Southwestern United States (Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California) which used to be part of Mexico as well. It also explored Florida and Cuba.

France - France colonial center was what is now Quebec, and that is why this Canadian region still speaks French. The French also explored the Midwest and the Mississippi Valley, and founded the city of New Orleans.

England - The English explored the East Coast, where the thirteen original colonies were founded. Despite being the smallest geographical area explored compared to the other two countries, it was the most succesful because it became the most populated.

Answer:

B) False

Explanation:

The term "constitutional theory" refers to two aspects of constitutional law. First, it refers to general theories of the Constitution, which deal with the overall structure of the government, the relations among the branches, and the relation between the national and state governments. Second, it refers to theories of judicial review, which provide justifications for the occasions on which the courts, ruling on constitutional issues, will and will not displace the judgments of elected officials.
