All things being unequal


The area between upper class, middle class, and low class is getting bigger and bigger. Some of the reasons that this gap is growing so fast is due to globalization, technology, education, and tax policy. Some are saying that they want restrictions on outsourcing or trade. People who are saying this are called Protectionism. Another way some American think that they can solve this problem is by taxing the wealthiest people in American and have lower taxes on middle and lower class.
I think that outsourcing is good and bad in different ways. I think its good because we need to connect with other nations and become one world. It also helps out different economy's and is cheap labor for our companies. On the other hand it does take jobs from some very hard working people. If you are a company owner you want to make money so you will go where you can get cheap labor and make more money. If your the worker you hate this because you want to have a high minimum wage but yet get those jobs that are going across seas.
