Does this sort of thing not bother conservatives?

Income disparity is a natural economic outcome reflecting the wide variety of individual opportunities and capabilities that exist.
Some individuals naturally have better opportunities/capabilities than others.
There's nothing particulary troubling about that at all, UNLESS political influence is utilized to unduly "rig the system" to benefit a relative minority special interest to the detriment of the majority of our society.

Well, that's what modern, progressive government is all about, Mr. Green!

Someone has to ensure that the right sort of people get 'their fair share'.

But, please, don't call it "rigging" - that suggests something tawdry, and goodness knows, our legislators would never be party to anything tawdry!
