Carnegie Vs Relativism

At the time, Krugman says that health care and repealing the Bush tax cuts would allow the United States to, “use the revenue to pay for more benefits that help lower-and middle-income families.” At the time, an uniform health care system and increased minimum wage could bridge the gap between poor and rich. Without assistance to the middle class and poor, the gap cannot be bridged. Krugman’s ideas for improving income equality can improve overall social equality. Raising the minimum wage allowed the lower class to finally have a chance in society to survive and not on the streets. More unions would allow better pay and job security.

The leaders of our government need to be able to relate to these individuals to gain votes; if a candidate considers himself superior to the rest of the society because of his inherited money, he will lose. Nixon, describing his life experiences and the work ethic he demonstrated made his story heart felt and relatable to the common people. Not everyone desires to be in office, but everyone has a dream job and the majority of the time, it takes blood, sweat and tears to get there. God created each individual differently, yet at the end of the day we are one in the same because, in this particular situation, the common person struggles through financial problems or debts, at least once in their life and it should not be a permanent roadblock to

Overall Wallace is trying to defend the new deal and trying to inform the public of what the government is really doing. In the next document on the radio Huey Long claims to want to cut the wage gap between the rich and poor and provide the poorest families with a livable wage. He wants every person in America to be able to have a chance to thrive whether it be to provide extra money for food or for an education. He does not plan to commandeer money from the rich to give to the poor but to provide enough money to make “Every man a king” and allow everyone to thrive. In theory this sounds like a great idea but it would require a large tax increase that most successful people in America at the time would most likely not want to pay.

In the Gospel of Wealth article, Carnegie argues that the best way on helping society was to help improve people themselves. Carnegie did not believe that the rich simply give the money directly towards the poor. Instead, he wanted to set up intuitions for the poor to allow people to help there self. According to Carnegie, “ [T]he main consideration should be to help those who will help themselves; to provide part of the means by which those who desire to improve may do so...” (Carnegie, 1889). Along these lines of what Carnegie accepts is that the best approach to utilize riches is for the rich man to, in his own lifetime, set up intuitions and foundations that won 't give offerings.

In Andrew Carnegie’s essay “Wealth,” he believed that he had a responsibility to spend his money on something to benefit the greater good. He believe that the rich should distribute their wealth responsibly to benefit society. One of his quotes say, “The man who dies thus rich dies disgraced.” Carnegie starts off talking social Darwinism, the issue of inequality and how and if he could fix it. Capitalism ensured that the smartest and most talented people would rise to the top. This would make them become significantly wealthier than anyone.

Satire on Republicans: A plan to save America that our Founding Fathers envisioned should follow three steps 1) making the rich richer 2) helping voting registration and 3) controlling immigration. First and foremost we must cut deficit spending and taxes for the rich. This means we need to cut on welfare spending, Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid because the poor, sick, and elderly definitely do not need societies help, especially in times of recession when there are no jobs and prices keep rising. No we need to let the rich get richer. And while we are at it let 's make sure we help future generations of children from having the burden of debt we created by cutting back on education – it 's for the children – they are the

" The needs of the poor take priority over desires of the rich - the rights of workers over the maximization of of profits... Economic Justice for all" by Catholic Bishops of United States does apply to the Asbestos Strike. The quote by The Bishops favors the poor more than the rich. The whole strike in Asbestos was about getting higher pay for the poor. The company was earning a lot of profit and the poor workers were not getting a good pay so they went strike to get a higher pay. In our society everyone wants to be living a good life where they won 't have regrets if they go on vacation and spend a little over their budget.

They usually qualify for public assistance, which can drain the economy. The goal of the United States should be to get rid of poverty. That will never happen with such a low minimum wage. If we want people not to rely on public assistance, they must be able to earn enough to feed their

Welfare Keeps America Alive Public assistance, or welfare, defines itself as a public or private social service aimed towards assisting those who are inclined to be more disadvantaged than the general population. Public assistance helps these disadvantaged by providing a minimal but steady income from organizations, such as the TANF (temporary assistance for needy families) or the SSI (supplemental security income).These organizations help the struggling to regain their previous successes thus, creating a better stabilized economy. Public assistance is needed due to the increasing poverty rates in the United States caused by unemployment and physical disabilities. A common misconception made about welfare is that anyone who applies for the assistance automatically becomes a recipient. This is definitely not the case, public assistance is only given to those who are in desperate need of help.

The federal government and the state government spend a lot of money helping out the poor. They help the unemployed, the sick those who work full time jobs but cannot provide for their families. Raising the minimum wage would save the government money because a raise to $10.10 would take 1.7 million people off of various types of public assistance. The higher minimum wage would result in a less expensive food stamp program. Raising the minimum wage would result in a 6 percent cut in the amount of money the program needs to operate.

I 'm not saying athletes should be paid same as average person but if we lowered their pay and gave some of that money to the people who deserve it. They don 't contribute the the society. ‘’People like teachers deserve more money than athletes because they contribute to our society’’ (Stein Dan). Wouldn 't it be better to spend the excess money on education or in the medical field. It just makes more sense to do that invest our money in helping the community and saving people 's lives than it does for us to invest it in entertainment .

Income inequality is a global issue that need to be addressed and is a threat to the individuals or household with low income. In today’s world the rich are becoming rich while the poor are deteriorating and going below the poverty line. To me, imposing high income taxes would not bring an immediate solution only that, it accelerates the burden. Because the higher the tax rate, the higher the rate of poverty subjected to the low income individuals. Due to that, the government should provide quality education to the citizens so that they become self-reliant in the future and experience high living standards.

At this point the benefits seem significantly more important than the costs. Sure the costs cannot be ignored but in the long run the increase in wage can improve people’s lives outweighing the costs that exist. Some of the important benefits from increasing the minimum wage would be giving a better salary to the people who depend on that money to provide and support their families. In today’s current situation the minimum wage has people living in poverty because what they earn is not enough to support them. By raising the minimum wage people can get themselves above the poverty line as “A more recent

The lower classes does not know that if we were to raise the minimum wage it would it possibly make them pay more than they already do in taxes now. That is why most lower class Americans look at Bernie Sander—the other democratic candidate—as a great solution. Bernie wants to make taxes fair and have everyone pay the same amount and at the same time increase the minimum wage to allow Americans in hard times to survive (FeeltheBern). At the same time, he also wants “access to affordable housing and childcare, as well as the expansion of social security and nutrition programs,” (FeeltheBern) .If Sanders were to succeed in all of his above statement he could possibly get the lower class to move up a little more than they are now. Unfortunately, in order for both Hillary Clinton
