I disagree.
The sheer magnitude of income inequality is a social problem in its own right. It doesn't matter all that much if the inequality happened with or without corruption. What matters is that some people work hard and are rewarded with quite little, and have unnecessarily difficult lives as a result -- and furthermore, that the system appears to be trending towards _more_ of that, not less.
