Income inequality is a good thing and necessary for a healthy free market economy. It is not a bad thing like the left keeps preaching. Income inequality is the carrot that pulls people up the economic ladder. Only in Marxist ideology is income inequality a bad thing so that “income redistribution” is needed. Our government has no business trying to manipulate income distribution—our free market economy does that more efficiently and correctly that central planned governments.

As a rule of thumb, 50% of any wealth that passes through the government's hands is destroyed in the process of feeding the government beast. That is why government has great interest in wealth redistribution, it's the 50% cut. For the same reason they're progressing inch by inch to nationalize the healthcare industry. The beast grows bigger and requires bigger morsels to eat.
