"Districts with higher poverty rates have fewer highly educated, experienced teachers and less stable teaching staffs. Students from low-income New York City families of all ethnic groups have little chance of being tested for gifted-and-talented program eligibility. Few black and Hispanic students are selected for the city's top exam schools, such as Stuyvesant and the Bronx High School of Science." This article discusses the inequality in education that kids from low income families receive in comparison to kids living in economically advantaged neighborhoods. Children living in better neighborhoods are more likely to receive a proper and advanced education simply because of their class and the place they live.

"Some economists have long argued that a widening income gap suppresses economic growth and job creation, and may be one reason this economic recovery doesn't feel like a recovery at all." This article represents my viepoint on the issue of income inequality. Although there are a few benefits to different incomes, the cons outweigh the pros. People of the middle and lower classes have been discovered to spend more of their income then the wealthy. This causes an overall decrease in the economic growth of the country. This is just one of the many bad effects income inequality has on America. Other effects include the greater lifespan of rich people compared to poor people, and the difference in the quality of education that children receive.
