As the classic saying goes, The top 1% of Americans make twice as much as the bottom 90%. Should more be done to equalize income? This issue is so interesting as it delves into moral belief and defined who we are and what we think is right. Some say that the top 1% have a responsibility toward helping everyone else, while others think that the top are already contributing and that equalizing income would be disastrous.
