In game design, an imbalanced game is not fun for anyone.
Games that allow both skilled/rich and less-skilled/poor players are common even in balanced games, and they are fun.
The problem becomes when a few players are cheating or the game is imbalanced to the point that noone can win but the already winners and noone can have any fun.
Right now we have inequality that is more like cheats in a game than a balanced, fun, fair game.
Ultimately money wasn't designed to be hoarded, it was designed to be an exchange of value and services. Hoarded money that isn't put into action is taking from the game and the fun which cheats everyone.
