Income Inequality

Poverty around the world still exists to this day, even in developed places like America. Maybe it’s finally time to see this poverty case for income inequality. How can we end this vicious cycle of poverty? So many people are suffering and struggling to just get enough money to buy a small amount of food. Every 3 seconds, a child dies of hunger. As said by Aristotle, “Poverty is the parent of resolution and crime.” Individuals are going into poverty because of many different reasons, for instance, low tax incomes, heritage, family structure, not being able to get a job with good pay.
