Paul Krugman has written an insightful essay about how, until recently, Americans were too distracted to realize that the middle class had been disenfranchised.
Is the current level of material inequality in our society providential? Or, is the inequitable distribution of wealth in our society by human design?
Who was it that called the rich man a "fool" for pulling down his barns to build bigger ones in which to hoard his wealth? (Luke 12:16-21)

Except that today the rich do not generally hoard their wealth in gold, silver, or precious stones. Those that do (like many musicians and pop culture figures) are not rich for very long. Instead the rich invest their money in people, companies, and projects that they believe will profit everyone.
You know like the good and faithful servants that guy talked about Luke 19:11-27.
