The best I can describe it is an issue of "haves" versus "have nots". The top 1% have it all, while everyone else doesn't. They want a greater redistribution of that wealth so that the poor can be not so poor, and so that the economy can better flourish. Now, one could easily pick apart these statements, but this is the issue in a nutshell.

So first we need to tackle the dispute over whether this is an actual problem.
That question being whether the top wealth aggregation is simultaneously causing greater poverty. I think thisismyvoatuswrname is arguing that the aggregation is not having an effective the robber barons did on suppressing broader wealth accumulation among the masses.
