Reading Response #6

According to the article Why the Rich Are Getting Richer and the Poor, Poorer which is written by Robert Reich illustrate that what makes the gap between the Rich and Poor become larger and larger. People’s lives are close connecting to the world economy and their corporation. They rose when the economy is rose and they fall when the economy is fall. The corporation in the economy always can find many ways to make more profit. They build their factory in the cheapest country and use the cheapest labor force. Moreover, this activity has not been confined. A keypunch operator in the U.S is one of them. Many people from the poor countries are willing to work for the corporation in a lower wage which also attract the companies to build their factories in. Moreover, people who without college degree is getting harder and harder to find a job. All these changes make poor people become poorer. They have no opportunity to get more money. The economy makes them happy even they get low wage jobs. In china, it is same. Rich squeeze poor. They use low payment to ask the labors work more and put the large amount of profit into their pocket. However, because of the pressure, poor people dare not to go against them. That is also why the poor getting poorer. Therefore, confine these activities, make the world equally. It is better for the economy and the whole population.
