The system is working as expected however. I get that a lot of people see wealth concentration as a bad thing, but it's just part of the system. If those wealthy people are willing to spend - then it goes back into the economy and prices rise, but people are getting paid for things.
If they hold onto it, then prices stabilize, the value of the dollar temporarily goes up. At some point these rich people spend all of it somehow.
And if you, as a person that demands more pay, then just ask. If you get a no, quit. It's as simple as that. No one should be forced to do anything different. I wouldn't ask you to give up half your salary?

It is not as simple as that. It is expensive to exist in this current day, and quitting a job when you don't have another source of income lined up, is not smart; or doable for the majority of the working class. Bills and debt collectors don't care about your moral high ground.

Yet, what you clearly observe is ...? And this tells you what about the system and its intent? Can you see mow, why so many are concerned?
