04/05/20: Required Entry – Youtube Video

While watching the video I realized how much in similarity the question they asked Americans shared similarities like the question we did on the 3×5 card. It shows how most Americans know that of course the wealth system in the United States is totally uneven because we have majority of people in poor or middle class. But when I was to sit back and think I would have never thought that the data was that much different than what I originally had thought. We look at how Americans think it is set and yes of course the more wealthy still have more financial benefits than the rest but for them to take up majority of the graph is absolutely crazy. We do not even have that many people who are in the very top but for whatever reason they are the ones with majority of everything. On our zoom meeting we discussed about the tax breaks and how America was so great at one point and we look at that percentage which was 92% and that was when America was in it’s absolute prime and now we look at how the wealthiest contribute 20%. We see how big of a difference there is and yes we are aware that in reality Americans did not exactly pay out 92% because of course there is tax breaks and many other things but it is crazy to see how different the data is now. We have a president that says he will make America great again but in reality will he? 92% down to 20% the wealthiest are not going to be as willing as before, before they were building schools and roads because the United States was not already fully established but now have came a far way so now exactly what will happen. This YouTube video is from 2012 and we are in 2020 now, 8 years difference and the topic is still of relevance. Will America ever be Great again? Who knows with inequality like this.
