The Gap Between the Rich and the Poor

Right now there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor. I read an article and in that article there was a man named Bob Shillman. I agree with this man's idea of the gap between the rich and the poor. He says that everybody in this country has a chance and that makes a lot of sense. Others think otherwise but people who become rich did well in school and work for it.

The gap is there because as it is stated in the article nowadays people are considered poor if they don't have a 50 in flat screen TV. With that being the case many people don't have a flat screen TV but they are able to afford a cell phone. The economy is also a factor in why people are losing money. People losing there jobs is leading them to become homeless.

I believe that it is partially the government's job to help fix the economy. This would lead to more jobs and more working people. It is also partially the common people's responsibility to try harder in school and in life. Simply work harder to be successful. This gap would be really hard to fix because it of the process of fixing the economy and not all people will put all of their effort in school and in their life.
