The American Dream: That one day we might be a poor immigrant, but the next we could be the CEO of a fortune 500 company. That is one of the reasons that the rich on this country feel they earned their money and shouldn't take extra tax raises. I agree that they have the right to earn their money and it's their money,, but in the end keep it in your heart the rest of your country hard working American's who struggle to make a living and support your family.

I agree with you that there should be a class system and that everyone shouldn't be the same. However I do think the disparity between the rich and poor shouldn't be as high, that's all.

Weakened is the key word not removed, that is what changed my opinion on your argument.

Who says the Soviet Union was more successful than America?, it would just help to see some evidence behind it, once that is done I might agree with you.

The numbers show that woman earn a lot less than men, I think it is just general perception of them that gets misconceived, that hey are weaker and inferior, which is simply not true. A lot of times their production can be higher than men because they are more professional in the work place.

I like your article I just think you need more evidence. Like the exact numbers between men's and woman's sports.

I really like your article it really shows how much we still have to come in woman's rights and especially in sport's and in Title IX legislation

Plenty of woman recently have been joining the army lately. And to industrialization claim that it is strictly a male profession. There are many hard working woman who work hard for their families on the assembly line in Detroit and many other blue collar towns.

It is certainly great when people donate, but is not something we can rely on.

1 point

I'm not sure if relying on people's charitable donations should be an answer to this problem. I think direct government intervention is the best way to fix it.

There may not be a woman president , but it is incredibly likely that one will be voted in in the near future.

I don't think Deniz is trying to say everyone has equal pay but that it is increasingly hard to rise to the top in are country when a lot of us are poor.

I don't know how we should treat the class issue, but there definitely is a class system. The fact is the dwindling middle class and larger disparity between the rich and poor is a problem for the economy and are people. I'm not saying everyone should be equal, but I don't think the income differential between the rich and poor should be as high, and we as a society should attempt to fix it.

I just think that if there were more woman in power positions like congress, or fortune 500 companies had more woman held positions than this would be less of an issue. However, it just seems almost inevitable that men are more likely to hold these positions because of how our society is like. I think if we just see woman as just as capable as men then this will be less of an issue.

What I'm trying to say is I don't think men and woman are equal, I just think woman should get equal consideration as men do in the workplace and in schools.

I think the major goal in the class system is to lessen the difference between the rich and poor and add to our middle class. On the other hand, I still think that people that have worked hard should reap their benefits. I just feel that our economy works better when everyone has some money, but I don't think everyone should have exactly the same. If everyone has exactly the same it is basically communism an din the end communism works well in theory, but it is nearly impossible for it to work well

I feel like Woman can have just has high paying job it all just depends on how you receive that equality. If we perceive a woman interviewing for a job the same we see a man then this would not be an issue. However living in the society that we live in this is not always a possibility. That is why you see woman earning 78 cents on the dollar of what men earn. I don't think it is possible to eliminate this prejudice in our society, but we can certainly try. It all just starts with our society and if everyone sees woman as equals than is likely that employers will pay woman higher wages and higher them more.

I agree that the laws are vague and that is certainly one way that woman could be achieving higher equality.

I agree, I think its harder now then it used to be poor and then climb the ladder to high paying jobs.

Even though the United States government has done tons of effort and legislation there is still a noticeable class difference. I feel there is certainly an upper class and a lower class, and a diminishing middle class. In my opinion the middle class is key to distributing wealth more.when you do not When there is a huge disparity between the rich and poor it leads to economic issues. For example it was a major contributor to the Great Depression. All in all, I feel that there is still work to be done to make the margin not as large.

I think Woman have come a long way in terms of equality since the passing of the 19th amendment in 1920, but woman in the workforce especially are still treated unfair.

Today there is a record of 98 woman out of 535 people in congress. This is still a large difference in the amount of woman but the numbers are still on the rise. During world War I there was only a single woman in congress. This shows how far woman have come, but there is still a long way to go.

Another reason woman have improved is the professional sports leagues that now exist and title IX. For example the WNBA isn't even close to the popularity of the NBA , but the discrepancy isn't that overwhelmingly high. I think its just the biased that exist in sports fans that they would rather see a man rather than a woman play.

Overall, woman have come a long way, but they are far from equal.
