I disagree. Those people having a lot of wealth doesn't affect ordinary people much at all. The inequality that affects ordinary people is the kind that drives up housing prices and drives out long-time residents, or those that bid uo healthcare or educational costs. The thousands of Facebook employees making six figures contribute more to inequality in practice in their communities than Zuckerberg.

At that level it ceases to be about things like housing costs, and starts to be about how the whole country is run. Wealth brings power. Look at that list and you'll see a lot of people who are screwing with the political system for their own benefit.
