Buffet put that in proper perspective. The history of unequal distribution is not very nice.

Unequal distribution of wealth is one thing but you cant resolve that with class warfare tax policies that do not lift any boats. First you have to stop the unequal distribution of wealth which has been nearly impossible for the past 50 years.

Not surprisingly, gov't works badly in the poorest areas of the country where corruption is highest.
