Why is wealth gap the problem?

Okay, we had a nice discussion last time. I would like to, however, point out a few problems that we will face in the future. Estiaque told us that there is no need to explain the reasons why there is wealth gap because it can extend to infinity and that we just need to realize that wealth gap exists. Period. I’m sorry to say this, but we will definitely run into many issues in the future if we don’t plan accordingly. I’m not here to defend capitalism. I’m not here to defend communism. I’m here to defend moderation. I might be considered a skeptic by some of you. I agree. I do tend to be skeptical. However, skepticism has played an important role in my life. It showed me that identity is overestimated in today’s society. People focus too much on who they are, instead of on who they want to be. What their identity is the middle-aged homeless guy roaming about the streets? If you truly want to be homeless, that’s where you are going to end up. But enough of this. Let me get to the main point.

The question here I would like to pose is this: why is wealth gap the problem? Let’s consider this scenario. We are protesting in the streets of Beloit with the banners titled “WEALTH GAP. GO BACK HOME”. Then, a bunch of people walk up to us and say “THERE IS NO PLACE FOR COMMIES. WEALTH GAP IS THE REASON WHY OUR ECONOMY IS STILL FUNCTIONING” How will we respond to that? Why do we think that wealth gap is bad?
