Inequality is a tricky word. At first I disliked it because, for me, it's a non-goal to have everyone equal.
I know there are some people who are willing to work harder than me, and I don't mind if they have more wealth. I also know there are people who don't want to work as hard. (This isn't meant as judgement, I'm just saying I'm somewhere in the middle.)
But let's not be black and white about it. I'm OK with some variation, but with some kind of limits. It wouldn't be reasonable for someone to receive a million times the reward for working twice as hard.
And although I'd prefer a better term, many people seem to use "inequality" as concise term for that. I don't love the choice of terminology (too prone to misinterpretation), but I can handle it.
