The debate on inequality is (often) formed incorrectly in order to promote the redistribution of wealth, when the real question about inequality is whether there are structural discrimination preventing people from making decisions that will lead to them earning more money. If there is no structural discrimination than the redistribution of wealth is punishing a successful individual for making good decisions that lead to their success to reward other individuals who made poor decisions that led to their failure; in contrast, if there is structural discrimination why wouldn't you address that rather than simply trying to gloss over the problem through the redistribution of wealth?
