>And this wealth inequality is mostly caused by people making dumb choices.
It was caused by economic parasites, not choices.
I know a fair number of people who inherited property and do almost no productive work.
They live lavish lifestyles and live almost entirely off the hard work of others while their wealth - the result of the hard work of others - both grows and sustains them.
I know a fair few others who are worth to society far in excess of what they are paid and have very little left of that once bills from monopolies, rent and taxes are accounted for.
At some point this system breaks down completely.
