I think that PG's point is that without economic inequality there is zero opportunity. So, I'd say that unequal opportunity is better than nonexistent opportunity. (This is an over-simplification.)

Some inequality is fine, but there's such a thing as too much inequality. If you don't strengthen the position of the poor to counterbalance the position of the rich then you end up with power being increasingly concentrated in the hands of the few. The issue then is how to maintain a balance between the rich and the poor, and there are ideas of ways this could be done without entirely eliminating inequality.
