The concerns people have with wealth concentration are often understandable and reasonable, but the way they're presented is often off-putting to me. I'd appreciate input on this matter from you all.
For example, claims that "wealth inequality result in X deaths" seem clearly manipulative. It's not "inequality" of wealth, whatever that actually means, that kills them. If everyone had at least enough wealth to be physically and mentally healthy you could still have massive wealth inequality. Ergo, if wealth inequality can exist without the associated deaths then wealth inequality isn't the cause.

Do you agree with my assessment? Why or why not?
