Also, wealth inequality isn't really the issue: few people are going for literal equality here, and it's misleading and disconcerting to people.
The problem is wealth EXPONENTIALITY. Pretty much any billionaire or trillionaire, as a person, produced more effectively when they were a millionaire, or even less wealthy than that. There is NO benefit to having individuals directly control wealth on the scale of small (or large) countries, and very little benefit to having collective entities like corporations controlling wealth which is that out of scale with other entities in their environment.
Wealth exponentiality is the problem. Equality isn't at all necessary.
