Just because most of us would LIKE for things to be fair doesn't mean that we want the government to come in and take from some to give to others...


Why are you building "government to come in and take"? It wasn't mentioned in the article I linked nor brought up be me.

What is amazing is that we as society agree that current level of wealth inequality is unacceptable. Better and more affordable education, stronger oversight over crony capitalism, transparency in lobbying and progressive taxation...

Lots of things could and should be done.

My old point still stand (and linked article does a good job highlighting it) - concentration of wealth at the top is detrimental to society. Wealth concentrated in too few hands corrupts the system and promotes even more concentration of wealth.
