HCC Government Policies to Address the Growing Gap of Inequality Memorandum

Topic: Public Policy

Most Americans point to circumstances, not work ethic, for why people are rich or poor. What kinds of policies should Congress enact to address the growing gap of inequality in this land of wealth and opportunity? Explain your analysis, why you believe your recommended policies would best serve the majority of those negatively impacted by such inequality. Your analysis should include an examination of current domestic policies and what they may or may not provide to balance the distribution of wealth in the U. S.
