income gap does not automatically translate into bad unless one is a dirty pinko commie
Income is not linear relationship to quality of life. Both a poor man and rich man have only 24 hours in a day, have only one wife at a time, can drive only one car, use one cell phone, computer, TV, bathroom. Both use Crest toothpaste. A poor man can fly across the country on Southwest Airlines in about the same time as a rich man in his Gulfstream. A rich man is not interested in living in a poor man's house, making that house affordable to the poor man. A poor man would not get much bang for his buck blowing his paycheck on one night at the Ritz-Carlton. A doctor making $5 for every $1 an auto mechanic makes does not really have a life 5 times larger. If you redistribute 2 of those dollars from the doctor to the mechanic, the main thing it will accomplish is make the doctor quit. Leftists are okay with that result, a race to the bottom like Cuba. Americans are not okay with that.
