Yeah, but income and/or wealth inequality is a problem in itself, and that's what libertarians such as PG don't understand (or refuse to consider).
It doesn't matter if wealth acquisition was "fair" or "warranted".
It doesn't matter if the process that allowed wealth to be acquired resulted in a net gain for society.
When a group of people become incredibly more wealthy than the general population, their interests diverge and it breaks society apart.
It's even worse when said group is not diverse but is instead composed of just the same privileged people as it has always been.
