CMV: Wealth Inequality is a Natural Component of the World/Economy

I view wealth inequality as a negative, yet natural component of the world/economy. What this means is that although I do not think wealth and/or income inequality are wonderful, I do believe it is the natural order and therefore can not be changed or "fixed." Don't we see this same order play out in the wild? The biggest, strongest lions eat first and eat the most. I never said this was fair or just. But it is just the way it is. For humans, it may not be about who is biggest or strongest that gains the advantage. Even with animals, sometimes a clever sparrow can defeat an aggressive crow.  The world can be viewed as a giant web or matrix of competition. And to the victors go the spoils. Change my view.

Edit: My argument is that income inequality is "natural" not that it is good or just. So in this sense, it is analogous to illness, aging, ugliness, etc. We should do everything in our power to curb it, but with the understanding it'll never go away completely.

Edit 2: I need to clarify this sentence because I did a poor job writing it. "What this means is that although I do not think wealth and/or income inequality are wonderful, I do believe it is the natural order and therefore can not be changed or "fixed." - the natural order I refer to is the components of human nature that lead to income inequality. That is an important clarification to make. You can obviously do things to modify income inequality. What you can not change or fix is the human nature that leads to income inequality. I realize I did a poor job writing this. I am sorry. I think a better sentence would be: Wealth and/or income inequality can not be forever fixed or permanently changed because of the forces of human nature.

Edit 3: I am talking about world wealth inequality. Too many privileged Americans/westerners  here can’t seem to grasp that the worldwide level of wealth inequality far dwarfs the disparities seen in the states.

Edit 4: animals do have wealth. Wealth in nature, just as our ancestors before “property” or “money”: things like territory, access to fresh water, hunting rights, breeding rights, shelters (a cave for example), etc are all forms of wealth.

Okay, let's take the base assertion as a given: that wealth inequality is inevitable.

Do you think that the *amount* of wealth inequality is worth paying attention to? If one person controlled 99.999% of the world's wealth, and literally everyone else was struggling to get by, do you think it that would be a problem worth trying to solve?

And a follow-up to that, do you think that the *current level* of wealth inequality in the world (or even just thinking about the US to keep it simple) is inevitable?
