Social classes in Spain
In Spain, the vast majority of citizens is are divided into middle class and working class. Only a minority of the population belongs to the upper class and aristocracy. However, this minority has a wealth equivalent to 16 percent of the GPD of Spain. You can recognise these people because they usually practise sports such as sailing, riding or golf in social clubs, they wear posh clothes of very expensive brands and obviously, because many of them are very famous, both here and abroad. For example, Amancio Ortega, the Zara's owner, is now the man richest man in Spain. But he always wasn't always wealthy, like for example, the Duchess of Alba. We can say then, there are two types of rich, people who were born rich and those who became rich with theirs jobs.
In the last few months (or in recent months), there have been in Spain many protests and demonstrations against the government and its cutbacks in social services. A lot of people don't have a job (or don't have jobs) because of the crisis and social and economic inequality is bigger each time. A consequence of this was the 15M, a very big public protest organised through social networks that concentrated a large number of citizens in a famous square in the centre of Madrid. People said to the Government: "Enough is enough!", "We are fed up with cutbacks and corruption", "We want a quality public Education and Health and you can't save Banks with the money of families".
As far as I'm concerned this situation is unsustainable. The Poors are poorer and the richs are richer. We had one of the best Public Health systems in the world and they are killing it. Many middle-class people have to assist at Charity social canteens, etc. In conclusion, I think Spain needs a change urgently.
Very good. Only a few corrections mostly due to articles ("the") and the order of words.
