I agree with Jenna's views on the conversations we had in class last week. I really don't understand how such a vast difference between the rich and poor could be fair. Besides money/power, there isn't some great difference that suggests that the rich are better or deserve better. Often it is the poor who work harder but since I understand that that's just as much of a generalization as saying that the the rich deserve it, what you earn should depend on merit. However there needs to be a base level where everyone has basic necessities based on the merit of being human.
