Unfair Advantages

The Social Elite in this country have an unfair advantage when it comes to making money. Our country was founded upon the ideals that everyone has the opportunity to improve their way of life through hard work and perseverance, but now it appears that is becoming harder and harder to achieve. Even as the quality of life improves throughout all social classes, the gap is widening between the upper and lower classes. Creating a budget for a lower class family was quite difficult, but not as complicated. We did not need to to worry about all the extra amenities, but we did have to worry about making the basic ends meet: Phone bill, Car payments, Food. The upper class had to worry about what private school to send their kids too, or what new luxury cars to buy. Even with crisis like cars breaking down or losing 10% of the salary, the rich did not get affected to much. They couldn't even spend all their money fast enough to create a decline. It seemed like even with all the vacation trips and luxury cars and private schooling, the rich seemed to be making more and more money. This is what is widening the gap in America, and there doesn't seem to be a way of changing that trend.
