Nothing wrong with inequality? It's highly correlated with lower life expectancy, higher suicide rates, more violent desths, lower growth rates, higher infant mortality, higher rates of death from pollution, higher spending on military. I could go on, but no need, it's all bad.

Can you cite a single study to back your claim that income inequality (not poverty) causes what you claim

Bill Gates has a neighbor that only makes 5 million dollars a year Should we help that neighbor? Maybe consider the inequity between the politicians and their constituents

And, let’s not forget that they live rather lovely lives in big homes and drive fancy cars which tells me that deep down, they’re OK with income inequality.

Scrooge McDuck cartoon economics? When the so called rich are living a "lovely" life; or, live in a "big" home; or, drive "fancy" cars, means many workers earn a decent wage by providing someone with greater means and disposable income with those goods and services.

Nobody is saying it should be completely equal. But there has to be a point where too much is bad. But when six people in one family inherit, through no work of their own, as much wealth as the bottom 30% of people, there is something wrong with that.

I am not jealous. I also do well at 100k a year. But for a healthy society, 6 people in one family the Waltons owning as much wealth as the bottom 30% of the population while paying their employees wages so low that they require government assistance to meet basic needs is bad.
