RE: Inequality is bad for society?
In my opinion the wish for equality comes from the wish for justice.
I think one problem is that maybe forcing people to equality is not right. So by forcing people we took parts of their freedom.
From a philosophical perspective freedom may be a antithesis to equality. So it is a hard dilemma to solve.

There is no freedom in inequality.
Well, that is not really true, there is a certain type of freedom in it: The freedom of the starving to die. Or, as a famous saying goes:
The law in it's heavenly justice forbids everyone to steal bread and sleep under bridge - the poor and the rich alike.
Yes, of yourse equality has the roots in justice.
And there is not much justice when a nurse, who maybe saves hundreds of lives in her work, gets paid in a year what an "investment banker", who kills hundreds in his career, gets paid in a day.
