The Rich get Richer and the poor get poorer


All I could do when I read this article was laugh. I laughed because this is something I wondered about for so long but never really knew the answer too. It was something that I believed and I couldn’t prove. It was something that had been affecting me my whole life but I could never really see with my own eyes. It’s amazing when you think about it. There are so many things occurring in our life that we can’t even control. Like how the wealthy keep us right where they want us and because they are the wealthy there isn’t much we can do about it.
A lot of Marxism comes into this document if you start to dissect it and think about it. Because you start to realize that there is the wealthy who have the money and the power and the poor who have neither. And they stigmatize us as much as they can to keep us where we are. They don’t want to share what they have with us. The less wealthy people in the world the wealthier the wealthy people are. If everyone was wealthy they wouldn’t even be considered wealthy people anymore they’d be normal and *gasp* they don’t want that. They are similar to if you had two kids and gave one 2 cookies.  And said “Share”. And kind child would share and let them be even but that’s a socialist mentality. Most kids would be against sharing and they would rather keep both cookies because technically the cookies are theirs and they don’t have to share and that’s more for them. That’s the capitalist mentality. And that is the reason why this country will always be corrupt. Because the rich want to continue getting richer and the only way for them to do that is to take money from others. And that’s usually from those who don’t have much to begin with. Therefore the rich (because they have the power) will continue to get richer and the poor will continue to get poorer unless something huge occurs.
