UNT Wealth Inequalitys Influence on Political Participation Discussion Question

I’m working on a sociology question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

The book reading on Political Inequality suggests and shows that political participation strongly relates to social class such as income and wealth. In addition, the additional reading Top Heavy: Increasing Inequality of Wealth in America and What Can Be Done about It implies that growing wealth inequality adversely affects democracy in the United States. Further, the two video lessons relate directly or indirectly Political Inequality to social class, namely different income and wealth in the United States and other countries.

Discussion Question

Do you agree/disagree with that political participation strongly relates to social class such as income, or that growing wealth inequality adversely affects democracy in the United States, including your own state—and why?
