1. The statistics that made the biggest impression of me was “The top 1 percent own between 40 and 50 percent of the nation’s total wealth.” That surprised me a lot because if we think of this carefully we get to understand that the 1% is just a few families of the entire nation’s population. That made me realize the system of inequality in which we all are living it. It made me think that the system itself it’s also a huge factor that contributes so few folks (the 1%) maintain their fortune. That is why I believe that becoming a rich person is just getting impossible for people that are not born into a wealth’s family.

2. Some of the implications of living in a society with such huge inequalities are reflected in a lot of aspects of our daily lives. We can see those impacts inside of our criminal justice system, our education system, and even the health insurance care too. It’s not a secret that being a wary person gives you a lot of privileges that working class folks don’t count on. From getting a better education to getting to live in a safe neighborhood are just some of the factors that play a huge role depending if you’re a wealthy person or not.
