Capitalism in America was founded on the dreamlike vision of economic mobility.  This is a picturesque goal for the less fortunate to develop needed skills and prosper in aspiration to the great inventor.  It is our intent to compare the ease of the billionaire lifestyle with the hardship of the minimum wage employee, and establish an insightful manner in which the gap between the rich and poor will shrink, increasing the likely hood of the fantasy that is economic mobility. This shall be accomplished by exposing the hardships of American workers in relation to working for industries run by wealthy powerful people, along with the unemployment rate. There are many beliefs of how money flows through an economy. For example, it is an expectation of the government that by providing tax breaks to the wealthy will spend more and the money will "Trickle Down" to the American people, increasing consumption.  However, the average citizens are also expected to increase consumption to allow businesses to flourish therefore creating new jobs, but in the mean time there are not enough jobs and the wealthy are the only people who seem to gain. The wealthy and the average are interdependent, yet the wealthy treat citizens less like partners and more like tools used to accomplish a larger goal. In the event of economic downturn, it is the average hardworking America citizen living for the American dream that loose their jobs, healthcare, and houses putting stress on family and peers. It is time to end the exploitation of middle and lower class America.
