The foundation of communities relies on the diversity of ideas and opinions among citizens, which the collective process values. 🏵️🏵️

However, economic inequality creates a disparity among citizens in their access to resources, which can influence and direct public opinion towards the interests of those who possess greater resources and influence. This can lead to distorted policy-making and decision-making processes that do not necessarily reflect what the majority of citizens need or want.

One example of this is the impact of wealthy donors on political campaigns. Those who have greater financial resources can donate more money to political campaigns, thereby increasing their visibility and influence. This can lead to the opinions of the masses being swayed towards those of the wealthy, creating policies that favor their interests instead of the broader public needs.

Another example of the effect of economic inequality is on limiting access to high-quality education among low-income citizens, resulting in a society where only those who can pay for quality education have a chance to shape their opinions and influence political decisions effectively.

In achieving nation's goals, it is vital for society to ensure that access to resources like education, healthcare, and representation in the government is available equally to everyone. Addressing economic inequality will create a more equitable society where people can thrive, and everyone has an equal say in political decisions.
