Income Gap
1There has been a heated discussion over the growing income gap now.

Besides, these people bring high 4efficiency, and create more wealth. Accordingly, they deserve high pay.
1On the other hand, there are always some people who view this gap negatively. They believe that a lot of crimes happen as a result of this income gap.
