Rich get richer...

The richest 1% percent of America owns close to 40% of our entire wealth. This distribution of wealth seems extremely disproportionate. Many believe that the rich are simply getting richer, and poor are simply getting poorer. 1 out of 3 Americans lives below the poverty line. 1 out of 6 Americans are starving, and don't know where their next meal will come from.

These numbers are shocking for many, but what can we do to change this? Ponder this question for a few mins. and come to some conclusions. Does something need to change? Do the citizens of America need to act, or is this the responsibility of the govt? Should we rely on the govt to do something? Can you come up with an idea that could make a difference and change disproportionate distribution of wealth in this country?

ps...just to prove to you just how rich some people are becoming,

To download or not download, that is the question...

Came across this interesting article discussing downloading...Click here to read it!

So, what do you think? Is downloading music for free wrong? Do you think there is anything to what this article is saying? If people who download spend more money on music than non-downloaders, is downloading a good thing for the music industry? Or, maybe you think downloading is immoral and that it hurts the music industry.

Discuss your opinion on the subject, then comment on at least 5 of your classmates blogs.
