We have a segment of the population amassing more and more of the country's wealth paying less and less taxes. Where is the logic in that?

I don't understand the logic in complaining about it. Those who have gotten wealthy have generally done so because they were successful. If their family amasses wealth, it is because there has, at some point, been a highly successful business that created that wealth.

So, why should not wealth tend to pool where there is success? There is literally nothing you can do to stop that, other than to confiscate 80 or 90% of that wealth at the time a person dies.

Pooling of wealth amongst successful people is an attribute of success. You cannot excise it.

And why should you care? The poor are a hell of a lot more wealthy today than they were 20 years ago.
