"We are all drastically more wealthy than our parents and grandparents." I doubt that is true based on inflation adjusted income. True, due to progress in science and technology, you have better medical care, faster computers, cars with more horsepower and Flatscreen TV panels.

But on inflation adjusted income, job opportunities, and retirement age and social security benefits the baby boomer generation was likely the peak. Trust me, the likelihood that we are just going downhill from now is quite high.

>They despise "inequality" and wealth. Maybe. I despise Kim Il Song. He is wealthy and his country has inequality.

That isn't to say we couldn't fix it, but we aren't making any efforts to. Hopefully the social instability eventually leads to a negative income tax.
