Suppose we could choose between societies in which:

1) the top 1% earned a minium of $1B per year each and the bottom 50% earned $250K per year each or

2) the top 1% earned an average of $1M per year each and the bottom 50% earned %10K per year each.

Choice #1 would be much more unequal.

$1B / $250K = 4000

$1M / $10K = 100

Whats your choice?

Because, it gets to a point where we're back in the middle ages, with serfs and lords, ordained by God to be above other men.

That involves political power, and economic restriction. You don't get to that point from economic freedom.

All class warfare aside, the true strength of America comes from it's healthy, vigorous, well-off middle class.

And class warfare against the wealthy harms the middle class.
