Increase of Wealth Disparity and How This Affects the Economic Status of Individuals Living in the United States
The American dream remains a beacon of hope to the public, parents and the youth who are hopeful to someday break through the ranks achieve their dreams of a good sustainable life. This paper will try to give an insight on the effect of the American reality versus the American dream, focusing on rising economic inequality and opportunities alike especially in United States. Even though there is the worldwide proliferation particularly in terms of the social movements that have focused on inequality, economic inequality is still an issue that has been widely politicized. Furthermore, it has been analyzed in depth through a bi-partisan kind of analysis that seeks to find out why economic inequality is increasing. When the financial crisis occurred in 2008, the total amount of wealth that was owned shot up, the economic inequality rose in a questionable manner, and the rates that were seen in the United States rose to an all-time high. With the American dream remaining a valid influence in the perceptions and choices made by, particularly young generation, there are lots at stake that make one ask. Is this “American dream” really a valid basis upon which some vital life decisions should be made?
The article looks at the issues presented with regards to economic inequalities and opportunities. The idea of achieving the American Dream has been perceived by optimists as the key force that make the citizenry hopeful and is the motivating force behind every youth’s aspiration to attend the top colleges and later get good jobs. Critics, however, see it as the main force of distraction from the American realities and blame the concept of “American dream” not able to mesh with the realities of America.

The federal government tried to repair the financial market that was collapsing by implementing policies that are perceived to give a lifeline to this concept, in the process forgetting to address the real issues such as unemployment investment capital availability and as a result, the people of America lived in a system that was cyclical. Moreover, it is perpetuated that the wealth accumulations lead to political power accumulation which has a negative impact to the society as a whole, a wrong effect of the dream. This paper will give an analysis of the impact of this dream on participation, income, and income inequality through presenting empirical work that is new and goes beyond the existing research and opinions of the article “ What’s Up With The American Dream?. The paper will also address the possibilities and advantages that are possible should people and policy makers abandon thesis concept of the American dream. Therefore, the argument that I present is that when it comes to wealth, it is much more indicative because it focuses on the wellbeing of an individual as well as their opportunity source as compared to income. This argumentative perspective will draw from political science and economics so that econom...
