There is zero evidence to suggest that wealth inequality is anything other than a natural product of excellence. Yet another statement by you with no basis in reality.

That is pure nonsense.

You seem to have no understanding at all of basic social science.

Every major university in the world teaches that what you say is wrong.

E.G Wealth inequality, "in general", as a population,is a matter of EDUCATION. There is a PERFECT correlation between amount of education one has and the amount of money one earns in a life time.

As a population!

High school graduates earn more than none high school graduates. People with some college earn more than people with no college. People with a four year college degree earn more than ones with less and a masters earns more and a PHD or professional degree like docs and lawyers more.

So free public education helps the individual earn more in a life time and a society to earn more e.g. south Korea which is one of the highest educated folks of any country.

And the same holds true for all sorts of social programs that help the people to become healthy, and wise!

There is zero evidence to suggest that wealth inequality is anything other than a natural product of excellence. People like Bezos and Musk have the money because they are smarter and more accomplished that you and me. They spend their money in ways that turn profits and create jobs. Why the fuck would you want the money anywhere else?
