Distribution of wealth has a lot to do with inequality and related social unrest, but not really that relevant to financial sustainability. If anything, the fact that so much wealth is concentrated at the top means the US could reduce the debt a lot by only taxing the richest 20-10% of the population, and not raising taxes at all on the rest of the populace.
