Poverty exists because our society is an unequal one,
and there are powerful political pressures to keep them that way. (1)______
Any attempt to redistributing wealth and income in the United (2)______
States will inevitably be opposed by powerful middle and
upper class interests. People can be relatively rich only if others
are relatively poor, and as power is mainly in the hands of
the rich, public policies reflect their interests than those of (3)______
the poor. As Mr. Herbert Gans has pointed out, poverty is
actually functional from the point of view of the non-poor.
Poverty ensures that dirty work gets doing. If there were no (4)______
poor people to scrub floors and empty bedpans, these jobs
will have to be rewarded with high incomes before anyone (5)______
would touch them. Poverty creates jobs for many of the non-poor,
such as police officers, welfare workers, and government bureaucrats.
Poverty makes life easier for the rich by providing them with
cookers, gardeners, and other workers to perform basic chores while (6)______
their employers enjoy more pleasurable activities. Poverty provides
a market with more inferior goods and service, such as day old bread, (7)______
run-down automobiles, or the advice of competent physicians and (8)______
lawyers. Poverty also provides a group that can be made to absorb
costs of change. It is just that poverty is an inevitable outcome (9)______
of the American economic system, in which the poor are politically (10)______
powerless to influence or change.
