Do you seriously believe that income or wealth is strongly correlated with the amount of hours one puts in? In fact one of the clearest things shown by the pandemic is that many of the most crucial workers in society, which often put in insane ours, and without whom much of society would stop working are also the most underpaid. I can tell you nobody would notice if wall street investment bankers would stop working for a couple of months, but everyone would notice if the rubbish collectors would stop working. Research shows that inequality is largely due to starting conditions and some luck. In fact some research shows that if we don't work against it (i.e. tell people how they spend their money) inequality just grows [1]. Also it's funny, how many say we should not take the money from the rich and "tell them how to spend the money", but at the same time are quite happy with a large buerocratic apparatus dictating every aspect of live for poor people.
