    The economic standards of these two schools, Freeman and Thomas Jefferson, are set straight by this excerpt, but it is also worth mentioning that the money spent on these students is drastically different. The book goes on to explain how the relative success of students at these schools is also impacted by their situation, with 90 percent of "Tee-Jay" students passing their exams, well below the state average, and Freeman students passing the majority of their AP class exams.

    Rea S. Hederman, an economist at the right-of-center Heritage Foundation, a Washington research group, said that "the problem is that the policies that encourage growth also encourage inequality," citing the preferential tax rates for investment income as an example. "That means redistributing income is going to restrict growth." This article talks about many different things. It talks about how the United States might be heading into a cycle, starting with a depression and then the government rises and falls repeatedly. It also talks about how when they government encourages overall growth, they encourage inequality with it. The inequality needs to be fixed first, so that the economy can grow overall, as the article states.
