Carissa Shern Chapter 6 Question 6

The part of the chapter that peaked my interest the most was the example of Bill Gates used through out the chapter.  This example puts in perspective the wealth gap in a way I hadn't thought of before.   "Families who live in public housing...are not poor because Bill Gates lives in a big house"(145).  These families are poor because they lack the educational tools they need to be successful.  Bill Gates didn't just wake up in a mansion and decide to build a multi billion dollar company for fun, he went to school and learned enough about software and computers to make himself the best in the business and thus provide his luxurious lifestyle.
