As far as rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer I completely agree. There is a major issue here and it's the fact that in order to get true equality we need to be unfair at some points...
For example: True equality would mean that a sick kid in a hospital bed gets higher attention and more "valuable", at least in terms of $, than a normal, healthy kid in a wealthy family. This is obviously unfair, because one kid gets let's say 100$ in attention while another gets 2000$ in attention, but it's the "right" thing to do. In order to bring forward equality we need to pay attention to these facts.
However, there is an issue that has gone through my mind so many times I can't avoid but bringing it up... for example, my stepfather.
My stepfather is not a bad person by any means, but he consumes the money he gets, he buys beer and gets drunk and listens to music all day like the house was a disco. He gets like 200$ per month and spends all these 200$ per month on pleasuring himself. That's his right, I'm not arguing against that, but now let's look at another person.
This other person also earns 200$ per month, but spends 50$ in helping sick kids and spends 150$ giving funds to companies to help them grow and do more. Companies may decide to give back some of their growth back to him in form of dividends, so this person may earn next month 201.4$ for example...
Again, this is just HIS choice, he decided to spend his money on helping sick kids and spends part of it in earning more while giving support to companies he thinks are good for whatever reason... but this action will in turn give him increased returns until eventually he will have 400$ per month while my stepfather will still have 200$ per month. Can we blame this setting? is money at fault here? If the person X reaches 800$ and decides to start spending 500$ in beer, beer prices will increase due to increased demand, which in turn will make the 200$ earned by my stepfather less valuable... repeat that for a few hundred years and we get to the modern days where some people have several millions while others have pennies' worth.

The only way to fix this ridiculous system is to remove money altogether from our conceptions AND to work towards individualism and self-conscience. But that would mean WAY too many other problems would rise... I'm a simple person, no complex religion or beliefs, no weird tastes, nothing like that, with a roof, some food, a computer, internet and some friends to talk and I'm happy; but there are people that can't be happy unless they're on top of the trend, unless they're cool, unless they have a Lambo, unless they have golden toilets, unless they show off their success to others, because they have high ego and pride. This is mostly caused by greedy companies who want money and make trends and brainwash people into believing that's WHAT WE should be doing when it's exactly the opposite.

I favor equality, the equality that goes by saying we're all different and we should help each other with our strengths while covering our weaknesses... we don't need to bleed each other dry, there is more than enough world (and outer space) for us. If all those wars and terrorism and wasted money worldwide went into development of space modules for colonization of planets some of us would surely enjoy some time at the moon.

I hope this world changes, I've tried doing my part, and you're doing it too, let's hope none of the horsemen come for us to fix our mistakes.
