Economic Inequality In America
America is supposed to be all about equality, but if you take a serious look around, you will see that there is human rights issue going on all over America; this is just one of them. Things need to be reevaluated and adjusted as things change and growth happens, America do not seem to roll with the changes very well and are stuck in a moralistic, religious, patriarchal system. In recent years, the major concerns of economic development is the study of poverty, the income distribution and growth in the less developed countries or from all over the world have been doing researches and studies on how to induce a growth in those under developed countries.

In order to make the GDP rise, we need to make decisions in production. There are a lot of ways to measure economic inequality, but one basic approach is to look at how much income flows to groups at different steps on the economic ladder. I believe that is the point.
