economic inequality

Why and how is economic inequality a feminist issue?

First off, what exactly is economic inequality?
Economic inequality is defined as "wealth and income differences" (web definitions). This being said, social classes are an inequality; working class, middle class, and upper class. These social classes are not only about income though, and that is why economic inequality is a feminist issue. As People Like Us states, "((social class))it is the most important predictor of what kind of financial and educational opportunities someone will have in life".
 This inequality is oppressive to the working class because according to the Center for Working-Class Studies, “employers are taking advantage of the current economic conditions. High unemployment, deregulation and lack of enforcement efforts have led many employers to cheat their employees.“ this leaves the working class getting screwed out of money they earned, and making minimum wage to barely get by.

Most people in the working class are unable to afford education to move up in classes and thus are stuck, like birds in a cage. CWCS states that tax cuts made unfairly go to the middle class and upper class which is becoming smaller and smaller as many people are entering the working class.
