One statistic that really stuck with me from page 29 was that the top 1 percent of Americans own more wealth than the bottom 90 percent combined. That’s crazy to think about. It really shows how unfair the system is, and how much power is held by such a small group of people. It made me realize how hard it is for regular working-class people to actually move up in life.

Living in a society with this kind of wealth gap creates a lot of problems. For example, rich people can afford the best education, healthcare, and housing, while others struggle with basic needs. You see it all the time, like in NYC, where luxury buildings are going up while people are still homeless right outside. Even on social media, it’s obvious who has access to money and who doesn’t. The rich keep getting richer, and the rest are just trying to keep up.
