Inequality in America graph

This graph shows the difference between who Republicans and Democrats see as important. It is showing what most Americans believe the government is favoring and who they are not. They feel as though the middle class is not being helped enough and that government officials aren't doing anything to help.  This graph is part of a national survey by Pew Research Center done in 2015, among 1,500 adults, finds that 62% say the federal government does not do enough for middle-class people. Americans think that neither political party has a clear edge when it comes to championing middle-class interests. 

One would assume that two people who are doing the same job should be paid the same. Here in the United States, this is not the case when it comes to males and females. A woman makes seventy seven cents to every dollar a male makes, this could be for the same position at a company. It is very unfair that there is a gender pay gap in todays time when society is changing and more women are breaking the glass ceiling as they say, and are working just as hard as men. The gap is due to a variety of factors, including differences in education choices, differences in preferred job and industry, differences in the types of positions held by men and women. But in the end, if someone who is of the opposite sex is working at the same company or location and has the same position as you, they should be paid the same. Both worked just as hard to get to where they are now, and both sexes who have the same position deserve to be treated fairly.
