Class Struggle

After reading chapter 10, I must say I agree with Marx on the topic of social class. It does make sense since the rich can identify with other rich people and the poor with other poor people. Though it makes sense for things to be this way, it doesn't make it right. For too long has there been a separation between the rich and the poor; it just seems like the economic gap is ever expanding. Since people do identify with their social class it is easy to have bad remarks about the other. The rich view lower class people as undeserving and lazy. Some probably believe that if lower class people wanted to be rich they could be and that they jut want rich people to take pity on them. Lower class people most likely view rich people as bullies and thieves, always pushing the little guy down and then kicking him where it hurts. Since I have been little I have always heard of the saying, the poor is getting poorer while the rich is getting richer. I have always wondered why is it that it seems money is depleting from mid to lower class people and the wealthy people can still afford to have 6 houses and three times as many cars.
Money is a big issue in the lives of humans. It is necessity to survive because everything relates back to monetary value. It just seems that this huge gap between classes is a struggle and has caused much evil in the world. In the bible it says the love of money is the root of all evil; though Marx was an atheist he eludes to this in this chapter. The wider the gap between the rich and the poor the more crimes happen. If there was a balance and no class system, and no label of rich or poor crime would if not cease be lowered. Marx makes some interesting points in this chapter.
