Four reasons why Obama can’t do much about income inequality - The birth lottery if you are born into a family that is rich or that is poor, poverty breeds poverty, Obama cant get anything done because he cant get congress approval, collage tuition is crazy high, people hang around with the people that is in their social class

7 ways to narrow the rich-poor gap - 

1. Break Down Social Barriers

2. Unify Public Schools

3. Raise Minimum Wage- it is impossible to live on today's minimum wage when adjusted for inflation

4. Tax the rich at a reasonable rate- raise the tax rate on the rich to help out the lower class

5. Give workers a voice in their company-

6. Reign in crazy-huge donations to political campaigns- Limit political spending on campaigns to make them more equal

7. Give money to the poor- people say the poor would use it unwisely and not on important things for living
