IMO, and likely in many others' opinions there are simply too many oligopolies in the world. Too much concentration of wealth in too few hands.
People see that the benefit the large majority of the wealthiest people / organizations bring to society is far from optimal compared to their capacity to do so.
I think it's not necessarily that there is an enormous divide between the wealthiest and the poorest. I think the important point is it requires close to an act of God, as a poor person (or just not wealthy), to make the kind of dent most of us want to make in the universe.
