Conclusion
From the Paper
"Bernstein and Mishel researched data from the federal government's study on family finances. Additional supporting evidence was obtained from the new Economic Report of the President and cited information from the Census Bureau showing earnings from college graduates declined 5.2% while those of high school graduates rose 1.6% from 2001 to 2004. Using this data along with studies from the Kauffman Foundation and Duke University, Bernstein and Mishel concluded the reason for the trend reversal. Bernstein and Mishel attribute the shift in the economic trend to the outsourcing of higher-skilled jobs such as research, corporate finance and engineering to low-cost countries such as China and India."

"RICH AND POOR
Income Inequality in the United States
Introduction
The rich get richer, goes the traditional saying, and the poor get poorer. This saying embodies two implicit economic assumptions. One is that the social community as a whole -- the macroeconomic world -- is characterized by income inequality, an inequality so sharp that society is divided into two groups, the rich and the poor. The other is that in the usual course of events, this income inequality tends to widen, with the gulf between rich and poor becoming ever more sharply stratified.
The saying that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer is of uncertain age and origin. It certainly goes far back in.."

Unequal Income Distribution in USA
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In recent years, increasing inequality in the distribution of income has been a subject of considerable public concern, political attention, and academic research. Income inequality is a measure of how equally the income pie is divided among all members of society. The relative income, or gauge, can be defined how well the poor are doing economically compared to the rich. In other words inequality is a measure of how equally the income pie is divided among all members of society. "

American Income Inequality, 2007.
This paper discuses geography as a factor in analyzing American income inequality.

Abstract
This paper explains that the North-South problem roughly outlines a trend in developed nations, including Germany, France and the United States, for the North to be more developed than the South, thus creating a geographical basis from which income inequality can be sourced. The author points out that another influence on geographical income inequality lies in the dissimilarity in the dynamic North-South urban centers, such as the Southern cities having a greater concentration of lower income nonwhites than Northern cities as well as their differing industrial bases. The paper relates that income inequality in the United States contributes to a growing concern about the availability of both health and education services for those individuals existing at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder.
From the Paper
"The economy of the South became increasingly agriculture based during its development, while the North was moving towards industrialization and manufacturing sectors. Wendy Shaw's study of the distribution of affluence and affluent communities in the United States clearly illustrates the economic inequality resulting from geography. A map displaying the 155 most affluent counties in the United States shows a tendency for such counties to be geographically centered overwhelmingly in the Washington, D.C. to Boston megalopolis."

Abstract
Despite the 14th Amendment in the American constitution, this paper claims that there is gross inequality in many states when dealing with African-American and Latinos regarding crimes and prosecution. It states that there is solid evidence that Blacks and Latinos commit a higher number of crimes per capita but in addition, critics of our legal system assert that some laws, particularly drug laws, are enforced more vigorously in minority communities. It is also claimed that people of color receive harsher sentences for the same crimes.
From the Paper
"America has taken the official stance that all are equal in front of the law for a long time. The 14th Amendment specifically states this. Blas? (2001) quotes a legal expert from Columbia University as he says, "One of the clearest principles of American constitutional law is that race is an inappropriate basis upon which to make official decisions.? The statue of Lady Justice seen on so many courthouses emphasizes this philosophy: she holds the scales of justice blindfolded."

Abstract
While Marian Wright Edelman, Anita Hill, Magic Johnson and Collin Powell are good examples of black leaders that are admired for their skills and character, there has also been enormous resistance in business, political organizations and communities to reduce racial inequality. The paper shows that even forty one years after the Civil Rights Act was passed in order to end racial discrimination in 1964, it is still very tough to be black in United States. The paper shows that, even more frustrating, the economic gains for blacks seem to have ended and even receded and a large group of black Americans remain lodged in the increasing social chaos of urban ghettos.
From the Paper
"Discriminatory actions by individuals and organizations are not only pervasive, occurring in every sector of society, but also cumulative with effects limited neither to the time nor the particular structural area in which they occur. This process of discrimination, therefore, extends across generations, across organizations, and by one generation in one area to future generations in many related areas. We can say without a doubt that economics is not only the root cause of racism but also the underlying force that keeps the oppression in place."

Abstract
This paper examines the extent to which openness, viewed as trade?s share of GDP, impacts the trade-off between inequality and economic performance. The paper finds a positive and statistically significant relationship between openness and growth, yet a positive and statistically insignificant relationship between openness and inequality. The first part of the paper summarizes and evaluates the theoretical background and previous empirical research. Next, the paper presents the conceptual models tested in the paper. This is followed by a discussion of the ideal data set and an overview of the actual data. Following this discussion, the paper expounds the actual regression for the models used and presents the regression results. Finally, the paper ends with a summary and concluding remarks.
From the Paper
"Economic theory going back to Adam Smith suggests that the greater the trade, in accordance with traditional trade theory, results in greater national income from specialization, according to Frankel and Romer (1999). Yet, several studies have found ambiguous relationships between these two measures. There are possible explanations of this, as if a country specializes in an industry that has low productivity gains, perhaps greater trade will not necessarily increase national income, but even decrease income relative to other trading countries that specialized in high productivity gaining industries. An example of high and low productivity gains industries are computers and agriculture. Yet, in general we would see that this is a special case and a positive relationship between openness and income is still predicted, and this is what is mostly seen in the empirical literature."

Socioeconomic Inequality in the United States, 1999.
Applies the concept of creation of false consciousness (Marx) to maintenance of the status quo in a socially-stratified capitalist society of U.S.

From the Paper
"The United States has become the classic case of a socially-stratified capitalist society of the type that Marx's analysis of the problems of income inequality, wealth distribution, and the hardening of class differences predicted would be subject to socialist revolution. While revolution seems unlikely, the rest of his critique was predictive and there is no reason the present state of affairs might not lead, at least, to widespread social unrest. As income distribution continues to reach new heights of inequity, however, the dominant class has at its disposal forms of mass communication that go far beyond what Marx saw in nineteenth century Britain. The construction of false consciousness among the American people, especially in such an ethnically and racially diversified nation of immigrants (new and old), has been so effective as to make the real problems of the..."

"REGIONAL INCOME INEQUITIES IN THE UNITED STATES
Introduction
This research examines the issue of regional inequities in income distribution in the United States. The primary objective of this research is the development of plausible explanations for the income distribution inequities identified.
Regional Income Distribution
Regional income distribution may be analyzed within the context of either household income or personal income per capita. In either instance, some distortion is inherent in the data. When household income is used as the basis of measure, information relative to the number of income earners in a household is necessary to place the data in perspective. When personal per capita income is used as the basis of measure, the true in.."

Income Disparity in the United States, 2004.
Shows the gap between the very rich and the very poor in the American economy.

Abstract
As the disparity grows between rich and poor in America, so does the inequality in the country, which threatens the very fabric of lives of its citizens. Income disparity does not allow those living in poverty to climb out and join the middle class and puts the greatest wealth, power, and privilege in the hands of a select few. This paper argues that, until this trend turns, there will always be two distinct "nations" in America, the very rich and the very poor. Using U.S. census data and information from economists and political experts, the topic of income disparity between the wealthiest and the poorest is established, discussed, and evaluated in this paper.
From the Paper
"While we are one of the richest nations on Earth, we do not share the wealth equitably, and the poor in America continue to struggle to make ends meet. These people at the lowest income levels not only lack basic necessities, such as health care and even decent housing conditions, they also drain the country's social and welfare services, for most of them simply cannot afford to live on the income they earn. As the nation's economy and tax structure changes, there are fewer resources available for these social services for the poor, and so, while the wealthy get wealthier, the poor suffer with fewer healthcare services, lower welfare payments, and a further reduced standard of living."

Abstract
This paper explains that the close ties between the United States and Great Britain are deeply rooted in common language as well as a long-running and deeply connected historical base of strongly tied economic as well as militaristic cooperation that has spanned since the era of World War II. The author points out that the United Kingdom is the United States' largest customer and the United States is the country that invests the largest amount, each year, in the United Kingdom. The paper relates that the commonly held values of democracy and the inherently held beliefs in the freedom of speech, human rights and a similar legal system are the ties that bind the two countries inevitably together.

From the Paper
"The United States was once under British rule and in fact the American Revolution was fought for the purpose of removing the U.S. Colonies from the rule of the British. The American Revolution was fought and independence was won establishing America as an independent and separate nation from Great Britain but only after a grueling war. Great Britain was determined to keep the Colonies under British rule and after an attack on Charleston and lives having been lost the colonists stated their intentions in a document entitled "Declaration of the Causes and Necessities to Take up Arms" and the action to break away from what most considered to be their mother country began. It has been stated in history that most of the colonists identified with the British and that many of the colonists considered themselves to be Britons."

"COMPARATIVE HEALTH CARE COSTS & OUTCOMES ? UNITED KINGDOM & UNITED STATES
The structures and the principles underlying the health care systems in the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (US) are dramatically different. Depending upon one?s perspective on social policy generally and health care delivery more specifically advantages and disadvantages characterize each country?s health care system in relation to that of the other country.
This research compares the costs and outcomes of health care delivery in the UK and the US. The primary focus of this comparison is on quantitative measures. The quantitative measures presented in this research, however, reflect both objective data (e.g., actual costs, mortality rates, and so ..."
