Income inequality as a growing concern for our economic well-being. A parallel concern is the sense that the primary path to generational advancement — access to quality education — is increasingly a product of privilege given the skyrocketing costs. The beauty of entrepreneurship: if a new company is formed it hires people and creates jobs in its community. As it grows, people’s opportunities multiplies and wages rise. Inequality diminishes because people get pulled into to good jobs.
