Why do you think does such high level of inequality persist even where

1.	Why do you think does such high level of inequality persist even where the countries are democratic and government works in the interest of all people?
Answer» In many countries like the USA, most of the media are owned by very rich corporate houses or media barons. They effectively manipulate and influence public opinion by what they high light and what they black out. The rich and powerful also have immediate access to members of the legislature and the ministers, and are in a position to influence their policies and programmes. On the other hand, the poor and illiterate people have no such access to the government circles. Thus the government of many of these countries follow policies which seem to be contradictory to the interests of the poor and in favour of the rich. So the high level of inequality persists even where the countries are democratic and government works in the interest of all people.
