> If everyone has access to medical care, housing, and education, does it really matter if some people have more on their bank account?

It still matters when some people have 6+ orders of magnitude more wealth than the median person.

Because of this wealth disparity, through the legal channels of campaign contributions, they are able to have a disproportionate and therefore antidemocratic effect on government policy.
