Right, that is exactly my point. The fact that inequality exists doesn't bother most people, it's poverty (the lack of housing, food, healthcare...) that bothers people. Inequality is irrelevant to the core issue, poverty.

Except that in the US inequality is a large factor in the maintenance of poverty since your super rich & rich corps seem so keen on keeping your broken markets in healthcare and removing any social safety net on food whilst they drive up the price of high demand housing.
