American Dreams
There is a common response to American among foreign writers: the US is a land of
extremes where the best of things are just as easily found as the worst. This is a cliché (陈
词滥调).
In the land of black and white, people should not be too surprised to find some of
the biggest gaps between the rich and the poor in the world. But the American Dream
offers a way out to everyone. ______(1) No class system or government stands
in the way.
Sadly,this old argument is no longer true,Over the past few decades there has been a
fundamental shift in the s tructure of the American economy.
The gap between the rich and the poor has widened and widened.______(2)
Over the past 25 years the median US family income has gone up 18 per cent.For the
top 1 per cent,however,it has gone up 200 per cent.Twenty-five years ago the top fifth of
Americans had an average income 6.7 times that of the bottom fifth._______(3)
Inequalities have grown worse in different regions.In California,incomes for lower class
families have fallen by 4 per cent since 1969._______(4)This has led to an economy
hugely in favor of a small group of very rich Americans.The wealthiest 1 per cent of
households now control a third of the national wealth.There are now 37 million Americans
living in poverty.At 12.7 per cent of the population,it is the highest percentage in the
developed world.
Yet the tax burden on America's rich is falling,not growing.________(5)There
was an economic theory holding that the rich spending more would benefit everyone as a
whole.But clearly that theory has not worked in reality.
