Material inequality is a fact of human existence and as long as it does not become excessive, it is probably healthy for society's evolution as it motivates growth. Extreme wealth is quite another matter and those engaged in various strategies to hide it do not have society's best interests in mind. Our current political system's dependence on power derived from wealth is the primary reasons for the prolongation of the lack of redress. I don't see any substantive change on the horizon until a critical mass of informed voters demand systemic change. Ridding ourselves of a Party System would be a good place to start. I strongly suspect that are more places to hide and minimize corruption within the Party System then there are within the castle walls of the wealthy.
