For example, when the author talked about the tax avoidance of rich individuals and large coorperations in order to increase their wealth with no barriers, I made a connection to the endless staircase in Super Mario 64 and how you had to keep climbing up the staircase in order to get to the top.
For example, when the author stated their thesis, I imagined a giant staircase with the rich at the top and the poor at the bottom and the space between them rapidly increasing.
“‘We know there are very simple things that can be done to curb this trend and to make sure people that are living in extreme poverty aren’t stuck there for generations and generations.’”

On Jan. 17, the Progressive Conservatives eliminated free post-secondary tuition for students from low-income families under the Ontario Student Assistance Plan. In December, all current and future provincial funding for the College of Midwives of Ontario was revoked. He had already backed out on plans laid out by the previous Liberal government for universal child care and a basic universal income pilot project.”
The author presents the problem where people are living in extreme poverty and this extreme poverty can be passed on for generations to come.

“‘(This report is) not just about making a whole lot of noise about the super rich. It’s also saying there are ways this can change,’ said Ravon. ‘We know there are very simple things that can be done to curb this trend and to make sure people that are living in extreme poverty aren’t stuck there for generations and generations.’ The report calls on governments to “crack down on tax avoidance” and ensure that the wealthy are taxed appropriately, saying that in rich countries the average top personal income tax rate fell from 62 in 1970 to 38 in 2013. Also essential to reduce inequality is increased spending on public services such as health care, education and childcare, the report says. By especially focusing on childcare, Ravon said that communities will experience the ‘triple benefit’ of bridging inequality between men and women, enabling more women to join the workforce and boost their economies.‘It really is the magic bullet,’ she said.”
First, the author presents the problem which is that there is a growing gap between the rich and the poor. Then, the author states a way to fix the problem by increasing public spending on public services and create higher taxes on rich individuals and large coorperations.
“Billionaires in Canada have increased their wealth by $20 billion over the last year, says a new Oxfam report on global inequality. In the same time, the 4.5 per cent of the country's wealth held by the poorest half of Canadians remained static. The report titled Public Good or Private Wealth recommends increased spending on public services and higher taxes on rich individuals and large corporations to close the gap between the world’s top money makers and the majority.”
