CMV: income inequality is not important. All that matters is that society's poorest have their basic needs met. This is not mutually exclusive with CEOs earning millions.

I don't quite understand all of the discussion relating the poorest and the wealthiest. No one in our planet should suffer lack of food, healthcare, shelter, etc. That is our problem to fix. I don't see why the fact that the top 1% own 90% of wealth (statistic made up but you know what I mean) is important. Why can't we have billionaires who are earning more and more every year and a planet where no one suffers unnecessarily? I think we can. Why does it matter if the wealth gap is growing if the people at the bottom have enough?

It almost seems like it's a distraction. We have enough resources to meet everyone's needs right now. We are set back by widespread government incompetence, greed, religion, lack of empathy, corruption, etc. And before you point out that I just listed 'greed,' any and all people of all financial means can be greedy.

Please change my view.

The problem is that even if the workers are working hard and that successful product was made/designed/etc. by them, their pay hasn't gone up. The top executives are getting more money while the workers that actually made it happen gets no change. Also, the cost of real estate and food is rising, but their wage isn't.
