In America, there is a problem with that gap between the wealth and income on the rich and poor. There are many ways you can try to fix or improve this problem, each of them with their own pros and cons. I propose that the government does a combination and mixture of several different tactics that may help improve the income gap somewhat. First tax cuts that benefit the poor, and people who are earning less. And more taxes on the rich.
