I agree there; economic disparity is bad insofar as it can be spent in ways that could manipulate the overall system. However that is really the fault of an imperfect political system with broken incentives, not a fault of wealthy people being wealthy. (It always amazes me how politicians manage to forget that they represent their constituents, not corporations or their lobbyists. It has gotten to the point where pointing this out is somehow seen as socialist or anti-business. But it's plain fact. Politicians are there to literally represent people.)
