This "income inequality" thing is still talked about and I don't understand it.
How much should a corporation make?
How much should a person make?
How much should a person get paid not to work?
On a related note, how is it right that I have to work my butt off to put food on the table, a roof over my family's head, internet and phone service, 2 cars, heat, ETC. but millions of people do not have to work to get those things? How is it right that the government takes money from me, to pay for those things for other people?
I would highly suggest that if you can't answer these questions you go out and travel. We're all allowed to have our opinions but you're making it out to be a one sided argument which it is not.
Travel to 20 countries. See the rich, the poor, the destitute, those with well established safety nets, those with none, those that choose between robbery and assault and eating since they were only given a remedial education in terrible schools and jobs pay $2/day, and then decide what you think would be best for the USA.
Ultimately we all want to have the best possible lives. Everyone is the same. They want food, shelter, a job, a family, and to live a life with dignity. When you make it incredibly difficult to do any of those things you end up with problems. So go out and see the world and figure out where you truly stand. Do you want to just have the bare minimum as far as benefits for the general society to avoid riots or are you willing to afford a higher standard of living for everyone at the expense of some profits? Nobody here is advocating Venezuelan type policies but when you ask such a basic question as how dare others get money and not work then it implies you don't understand our welfare system or even what's going on outside of your bubble.
