Differences Between Poverty And Inequality In The United States

: Every country is responsible for their own poverty and inequality which means that these two are major concerns nationally that could be resolved in many ways. For example, Oman’s government spends most of it’s money on creating new malls with squeaky clean floors and walls that we don’t need and already have when it could be using that wealth to build charities to help the poor and fight poverty or make campaigns to destroy the social hierarchy and inequality. The redistribution of tax could also assist in making a change since it is working in the United States and meeting the objectives. Their plan is to redistribute more than $2 trillion yearly from the top 40% percent of the society (mostly high class and wealthy families) to the lower
60% (middle and lower income families). The results of 2012 brought to surface that the typical low income families’ “average amount of redistribution is $27,071”, which means that the people who faced poverty the most received more than they payed in taxes. The middle income families were also presented with more cash than they offered seeing as they got $9,715 more, whereas the high income families collected less than they payed considering that the average difference was $87,076. I also found out in my research that the difference gets larger according to the amount of money the family has, meaning that the wealthier the family, the more they will have to give in return. Aside from the redistribution of tax, another way is not to prioritize the capital, Muscat, but focus on the other regions that have more poverty and expand it’s prosperity. That would mean that more people could get an education and scholarship, which would be an advantage for the country.
