Income inequality in the United States

Income inequality means that some people have a lot more money than others. It's something that's been going on a long time in the United States. Some people have a lot of money and some people have very little money. It's not fair because everyone should have the same opportunities to make money. The government is trying to do things to make income inequality better, like making sure everyone has access to education and making sure companies pay their workers a fair wage.
