Lets Fix This Gap!

There is a big gap between the rich and poor. Here is a article that I got to read about the rich and poor. It gives both sides of the rich and the poor . It also has quotes from people, some were rich and some were poor or  came from low-income family's. In the article I think most of were right in their own way.

 Like Shillman he said he earned his houses. He also said he knows many businessmen and they were not handed things. Then  he talks about some homeless people. One tells there story about how they became homeless. Its really sad when someone has there life is good and then something happens and they lose almost everything.

There was more but the one that talks and explains more is Mohamed, she came from a low-income family and her mom worked 2 jobs to support her 6 children because her dad was deported. She is going ton college because of student loans. She says "that there people looking down and people looking up and there's tons of barriers." She is right people are looking in different directions. Also Krantz said that she wants her kids to set there stars and grab it.

Many people might have different opinions on the gap between the rich and the poor. I think it happens because many people didn't have a chance to see a better way of life nor was there any one to show them the difference between a good life of working and what it can bring them. So to many that is a good life  so I do believe it can be changed but first there has to be some type of schooling that needs to be offered in our society, and maybe in all schools so that as children  we can learn about what a good life can mean. It's our job as a society to fix this gap, lets make a better world.
