, think that salaries should be controlled and limited by the state. In
this
Linking Words
essay both views will be discussed and I will explain why I think high salaries should be allowed and promoted by the governments. High salaries increase people possibilities to buy expensive goods or services and,
consequently

, benefit the economy of the
country

. Most multimillionaires,
for example

, have more than one car or house, and even change them quite often, improving the market of these goods. Having more money

happiness.

On the other hand
Linking Words
, some people argue that the governments should control the salaries and limit how much workers earn to reduce the differences between the extreme poverty and those who are very wealthy. In Argentina,
for example
Linking Words
, there are laws that ensure all employees have equal wages bringing more even distribution of wealth. Another positive point of

measure is that there will allow the state to spend more money on public funding,
such

as education and health institutions, allowing a better service for all. In conclusion, whereas many think that the state should ensure more equality to citizens and spend more money on public funding, in my opinion, higher wages, improve, not only people's quality of living, but
also

the economy of the
country

.
Therefore
Linking Words
, the government should be responsible for ensuring and encourage higher salaries for everybody.
