Inequality is increasing WITHIN Western societies because inequality is DECREASING on an Earth-wide basis. The graph here shows the results in more detail. (http://blogs.worldbank.org/developmenttalk/the-real-winners-and-losers-of-globalization http://blogs.worldbank.org/developmenttalk/the-real-winners-...) If you are cool with the morality or utility argument that you need to take from the haves within a country to help the have-nots/increase velocity of money/etc., it seems to me you should at least be pre-disposed to do the same on a world-wide basis where the inequality/need is much greater. And if you are reading this in the US, the rich is you. Roughly $32k a year in income makes you a one-percenter on a worldwide basis.
