I was acknowledging that not everyone agrees that wealth disparity is necessary. I did not state my opinion on the matter, merely that it is difficult to see how it could be avoided should we want to. I was trying to point out that a glib "Nope" doesn't bring anything new to the table.

Moving on to my personal opinion, I think it's more productive to think in terms of how much wealth disparity is part of a reasonably robust and functioning economy. We've all seen the numbers that show a steady trend upwards over the last 3 decades. That does not seem to be a good thing.
