Making a Change


Wealth.

It is a severe issue in the United States.

Why you ask?

The top 400 richest people in the U.S. have more wealth than the bottom 150 million people.

Something isn't right here. 

Why is this so?

The income gap is one reason.

It is large because those who don't obtain a college degree don't get a well paying job.

Why should we care? 

Wealth effects lifespan.

Those who receive a low income don't live as long as a life as the rich.

Is this fair?

No. People should not suffer.

Economic growth is another reason why we should care. 

If wealth is evenly distributed than the economy can have a chance to improve.

Wealth can affect our overall health.

It can be a blessing to the rich or a disparity for the poor.

Action needs to be taken.

Change needs to happen.
