That's a straw man, nobody asked that inequality should go completely away.
The question is rather what is a healthy level of inequality and should the government work on increasing inequality.
Most people under estimate the amount of inequality in the US, this [1] is an awesome video illustrating it.
Also there is some interesting research on modelling inequality as a phase change process and that there exist some point of no return after which inequality only increases towards a oligarchy/plutogarchy without a revolution type event [2]
