>>And why is it a problem?
Wealth inequality leads to inequality in political representation. Think about the massive amount of influence the elite have on our politics. And in virtually all cases, they use that influence to better their own situation and take away opportunity from others.
The poor having fridges and air conditioning does not matter when the entire system is rigged against them.
