I feel like it is specifically income disparity and like most things, the ever presence of information. When you're working as hard as you can just to scrape by paycheck to paycheck, you're often told it's just because everyone is hurting. That message is undercut however, by the ever presence of people who have more than they know what to do with amassing more and more without even trying.
