Why does it matter if some people are filthy rich, if the "masses" are still doing better than before the filthy rich emerged? I just wonder why does it matter if someone doing a 1000 times better, if i can live a comfortable and peaceful life. Does it hurt? Like it is a physical pain? Most people do not compare themselves with billionares. They compare themselves and their wealth status with others in the similar job/neighbor. The mantra of "but they are richhhh!" is i think is just a theoretical pure envy.
It doesn't matter at all. But what matters is that if inequality goes unchecked the system will eat itself since the filthy rich need consumers to make money from. What you want is a bell curve w/ most people in the middle. History has shown us that when there is too much inequality bad shit happen. French Revolution, Russian Revolution, China, Vietnam, Cuba, etc..
