I am willing to accept the premise of "unfairness" but simple response is "not in any way I am morally obligated to remedy." i.e. my wealth wasn't stolen. But I'm open to workable solutions to reduce the unfairness without, you know, crashing this civilization with no surivors.

The rational reaction maybe should be, "That's fair, but fairness isn't everything." Anyway, government attempts to remedy inequality will no doubt have worse results than inequality, though they may remedy inequality temporarily.

Its 'easy' to remedy inequality if you don't care about other metrics and thus can just bring everyone down to the same sucky level. "And the trees are all kept equal by hatchet, axe, and saw!" This song plays in my head when pondering these issues:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnC88xBPkkc …
