I guess the question is whether the wealth of the top 10% is related to the issues of the rest. There are a number of possible places to get the same money (budget reallocations, corporate wealth, etc). It is not obvious to me that these 2 things are connected.
Also, one way to address the issues is to get everyone to be wealthier. "Why can't you just be richer?" seems like a weird thing to say but this is exactly what has happened over the last 100 years or so (at least for most of the world's population). This has solved many things that used to be problems but created new problems of its own.
Would a solution that makes the bottom 90% better able to afford healthcare but makes the top 10% even richer be a good thing? If not, why not?
