the good in economic equality? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

just to play devil's advocate - why should everybody hold the same or similar level of wealth?

If a society holds a small amount of economic inequality, then why is this a bad thing? If somebody is poor then what is to stop them from working to acquire greater wealth for themselves?
