The essay makes the case that the wealthy are exploiting the poor by being the ones who have all the jobs and are making the money, and getting richer, while the poor are getting poorer, and just getting by in a world run by the rich. It assumes this by talking about the myths and realities that are present in American society. Other ways this could be interpreted is that the wealthy are just the ones who are trying harder, and the poor aren’t trying enough to get above the rich. I think that our society is run by the wealthy. I also think that there aren’t that many “rich” people, and that most people in America fall into the large middle class spectrum. I still think that there are many people who fall below this spectrum, and are the poor. The poor out number the rich, and the middle class out number both. You would think that the middle class would run society because they are the largest class. This isn’t true because the middle class is always working to be “rich.” They are always working for rich people, and are trying to attain what they have. In fact, they will never reach this status at which they want to be. As they gain money and continue to get “rich” the rich are also gaining more money and still will be richer than them. There will always be a poor, middle, and upper class, no matter how much each of them earn. The poor could be earning a million dollars a year, but the middle class would be earning 10 million and the upper class 20 million. I just don’t think that the classes matter that much because there will always be a difference in income and the jobs that people have. People wont just start earning the same amount for being a janitor at a hospital and being a doctor at the same hospital.
