This statement is misleading, no one is advocating a flat distribution of wealth but why should some families lack access to clean water if we can give it to them.

I don't think anyone but the most extreme libertarians would say that some people should starve so we can all feel better about how little we have.

And I don't think that anyone here is suggesting that our society shouldn't have to provide clean drinking water to people who can't afford it.

Again, my point is we need to find where the happy medium is.
