Closing
the Wealth Inequality Gap
Nowadays
the rich is becoming richer and the poor is becoming poorer. The wealth inequality
gap widens everyday and what is worst; it will keep like this because no one wants to do something.
The economy
systems in most of the countries have benefited the rich more than the
poor. And the governments are just trying to look after their own interests instead of the people's interests or needs. The new laws or law’s modifications just try to
protect the big companies that invest in the countries to create jobs
and make towns prosperous, but the truth is, they are looking to have less
production and operation expenses to have more profit. They pay low wages,
have the worst working conditions because they don’t care about their workers, but
moreover, they have the power of doing this because the law and government
system allow them.
We can see,
on the one hand, huge companies competing unfairly with each other because they
are monopolies, billionaires fighting for oil in the Middle-East, and on the
other hand, children starving and dying in Africa and many other countries. Percentage
of families in very poor situations is rising in countries where they’re supposed to be growing economically, and people still believe in old political parties.
I believe
that there should be a stop to all this inequality; I agree that every country
needs to have a limit to maximum personal wealth at $100 million, and every other income
should be destined to the poor people or the non-profit organizations that help
these people. However it’s not enough, governments need to avoid corruption, raising wages has to be forbidden for people that are already well paid, employment
rate needs to be raised for less-educated people, governments need to support,
improve and promote more education opportunities for everybody, as well as
support small businesses more than huge companies.
