Question 9 • * HSA 26-27 US Government

What is one counter-argument to the premise that the wealth gap is a serious problem which needs to be addressed?

Answer
T
The lower classes have the opportunity to invest.
P
Poor people can easily move into the middle class.
I
Investments by the upper class create lower-class jobs.
B
Buying power sharply increases for the working class.

Explanation

A counter-argument is that wealth held by the upper class can be invested in businesses and other ventures, which may create jobs for lower-income workers. This supports choice C, “Investments by the upper class create lower-class jobs.” The other choices make claims about mobility or buying power that do not directly explain how a wealth gap could benefit lower-income people.
