> we'll accept decreases in wealth in exchange for more equality indefinitely. That doesn't necessarily follow, I imagine that there is a level of inequality where total wealth, or at least total utility, even for the rich, starts to go down. For instance once you start having to go to private school, and live in a walled off community to keep the unwashed proletariat out so they don't steal from you / kill you. You have to accept that people are irrational and deal with it, or modify them genetically.
