Poverty is a huge problem and we should work to alleviate it as much as possible. In terms of wealth disparity however, who cares? Bill Gates being a billionaire doesn't affect the living standards of other people. If the government came and took Gate's fortune it would hurt that bottom 50%, a group that Gates invests billions in helping every year.

1810 people in this world have 6.5 trillion dollars between them. That's more to the point than some ageing monopolist who has grown a conscience.
