A. Well, seriously, the Real answer is that the feminist Movement drove women into the workforce, thus taking many jobs away from other families, whose men would ordinarily have had employ for the family! So, now we have Dual Income families [usually small ones], as opposed to No Income families, who can't get a job! That's the Greatest Inequity and Inequality of the Lot in terms of Finance!

A. Inherited money and companies for one reason... Also, laissez faire capitalism states that the most efficient will prevail. What we are seeing today is an increased concentration of capital and land. For example, Mars candy just bought out Wrigley. Apparently Wrigley was inefficient. That also leads to more resources being owned by one person. The same can be said for the 24 hr news channels. Murdoch owns Fox, Myspace, Wall Street Journal, and is trying to bid on Yahoo with Microsoft.. again.. concentration of resources. Once this passes thru generations you end up with almost everything in the hands of the few. Like it or not, pure capitalism encourages it. That is why some things are regulated.. like monopolies.

Is the low standard of living in the United states cultural or economic ?
Q. Is the recent and drastic decline in US living standards due to cultural acceptance of large income inequality and a selfish me driven culture. Or is it the result of poor economic performance ? WIth such a high GDP per capita one has to wonder why the standard of living is ranked so low, and why there is such widespread poverty. Even the kind that is arguably not poverty, why is such a rich country in a position to debate if 24% of its citizens or 10% are living in poverty.

But the income inequality is getting out of hand.

Does History Favor Democrats?
Q.

That 1.14-point difference, if maintained for eight years, would yield 9.33 percent more income per person, which is a lot more than almost anyone can expect from a tax cut.

Do you think the united states is better off today than in 1950's?
Q. This is a religious question, america was more religious in the 50's. Anyway, I think the quality of life was better in the 50's for the average man. All inequality asside, I think the economy was better (we have very few manufacturing facilities anymore). I heard on the news that personal savings is at its lowest point since the great depression. There was better family life then, now you pretty much need two incomes to get by. I think personal freedom was greater, now we have laws for everything. Taxes were lower, the value of the dollar was greater. Other than some social injustices and technological advances, I would say they had a better quality of life for the most part.

A. No simple answer to either of your questions.

This affects all state funded public services including education, health care, etc.

A. The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money. -- Margaret Thatcher It would be nice if you linked to your study, b/c its diff to know where your data comes from. But here is one study that says happiness is based upon, "Family, social and community networks that bring joy to one's life." (According to 2005 editorial, in the British Medical Journal authored by Dr. Tony Delamothe). The other thing that makes this study suspect is that it was done by the UN. But in the US, there are about 1.2 million births every year to unwed mothers. That is a hard life, and I would like to know what it is in other countries. But I don't think the mothers of the 1.2 million per year would be really happy… [cont.]

Why does Hillary think we cant take care of ourselves?
Q. Hillary Clinton has identified a grievous flaw in the contemporary American economy: It leaves it all up to the individual. This hateful individualism is allegedly driving income inequality and destroying the American Dream. Clinton calls it the on your own society, displaying a liberal Democrat s curious aversion to people doing things on their own. In contrast, she offers a collectivist vision of shared responsibility for shared prosperity, making the case for it based on a farrago of mistruths about the state of the economy. She actually is not interested in sharing anything, but instead hogging all the credit for economic growth in the 1990s for her husband and, by extension, herself. Clinton cites figures to paint a picture… [cont.]

A. It would be helpful to know the scope of the research paper. Your thesis contains 5 causes of income inequality. No matter how big this paper is, effectively demonstrating all 5 of your causes will be tough. There are many reasons that it might have been better to focus on 1. However, I am assuming that it is too late to rewrite much of your paper, so I guess we have to work with what we have. Not seeing your entire paper makes it difficult to judge the conclusion. It seems to focus more on education than the other causes. Did you present more evidence for education than the others? You might lead by repeating your thesis including education and then focus on education. Instead of saying education is a personal choice, you might say… [cont.]
