"When the poor have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich!"

-Rousseau

"7 Empty-handed we came into the world, and empty-handed, beyond question, we must leave it; 8 why then, if we have food and clothing to last us out, let us be content with that. 9 Those who would be rich fall into temptation, the devil’s trap for them; all those useless and dangerous appetites which sink men into ruin here and perdition hereafter. 10 The love of money is a root from which every kind of evil springs, and there are those who have wandered away from the faith by making it their ambition, involving themselves in a world of sorrows." 1 Timothy

The concentration of wealth is problematic on both the moral and economic terms. I'm not arguing that the solution of taxing the wealthiest is best solution, but conspicuous personal wealth is not a fact that can be waived away and dismissed.
