That isn't wealth, that's income. Ownership of assets blows income out of the water. If you find a distribution of assets by value, post it.

How can equality ever exist? How can anyone think equality is fair?

Give two people a million dollars. One blows through it as fast as possible on high living. The other saves and invests it. At the end of the year, you have inequality ... better take the million away from the saver and spread it around.

People make life choices all the time. Choices about education, about work and business, about whether to abide by laws and morality or not, about whether to marry or live a promiscuous lifestyle, whether to spend it all or save ..... everything affects what they end up with dramatically. People in our free country largely choose their own fates.
