Warm Up 9/12 What is “Wealth Inequality?” What are your thoughts about it? Is it a problem?

Wealth Inequality

Wealth vs Income Income: how much money you make Wealth: how much money you have Wealth or Income inequality is all about who gets access to what services.

Income Inequality First we will make sure we understand what life looks like for each level of income. You will be sorting statements into which economic group they would be true of.

Income Inequality Find a partner. Make this chart on one page in BOTH binders. Extreme Poverty Poverty Working Class Middle Class Upper Class Top 1%

Income Inequality You will be sorting statements into the POOREST group that you think that statement is true of. “Can afford to breathe air” would go in Extreme Poverty because everyone can afford that. “Can afford a 15 million dollar house” would go in Top 1%.

Income Inequality You will need to cut out the statements before you start. Don’t worry about attaching them to the chart, you will write in the correct answers when you are finished.

Income Inequality Wealth References (for a family of 4): EXTREME POVERTY: less than $4,000 a year POVERTY: less than $24,000 a year WORKING CLASS: $24,000-$48,000 a year MIDDLE CLASS: $48,000-$144,000 a year UPPER CLASS: $144,000 and up TOP 1%: at least $450,000 a year

Income Inequality Now you will write in the correct answers on the chart you didn’t use.

Extreme Poverty Poverty Working Class Middle Class Upper Class Top 1% Vote in all states Public Transit Would not starve Can buy used clothes Used car, bad condition Coffee, etc. Always enough food Children can apply to any college Rent in poor areas College if kids take loans Restaurant once a month Reasonably priced new car Family provides economic support.
