Bash that straw man!

I agree that current inequality is excessive, but the argument I made applies if there is any inequality at all. There has never been a human society with absolutely zero inequality. If there is any inequality at all there is always some "trickle down" effect in the form of aftermarkets, priming of industrial production leading to future lower prices, etc.

It's possible to simultaneously acknowledge certain "trickle down" effects and believe they can be beneficial while also being in favor of reducing inequality.
