Why is inequality on the rise in the United States...

In class today we discussed income inequality in the U.S.  One of the resources we used to introduce this topic was the following video...


Watch the video again and respond on your blog to the following questions...


1. Name three reasons given in the video for increasing income inequality (the loss of the "middle class" as they call it in the video).


2. What are some other reasons for growing income inequality that we discussed in class but that are not mentioned in the video?


3. What do you think could be done to reverse the trend toward growing income inequality?  In other words, what can we do to make things better?
