Due to the current economic issues, the gap between the rich and poor has continued to grow.  This article satirizes this issue.  By making it the eighth wonder of the world, the author is saying that it is surprising how long this issue has been going on and is yet to be fixed.  This criticizes the lack of anything being done to solve this problem and bring the gap closer together.  The author also criticizes peoples role in this issue and how this "wonder of the world" was created by man.
