I totally agree. There needs to be some financial mechanisms for keeping people from becoming insanely wealthy coupled with financial mechanisms preventing people from becoming impoverished. The obvious solutions are taxes that increase with income and wealth along with UBI that someone can reasonably live off of. All of this requires regulation and strict enforcement of tax laws, especially for the most wealthy. The rich know this and actively work against it. Probably the most effective method has been for them to buy up all the mass media and pump out capitalist and anti-intelectualist propaganda. We can't change anything if half the people drank the coolaid and actively fight against their own interests and for the interests of the rich. I don't know how bad things will have to get for those people to wake up. Hopefully not much worse but at this point I'm afraid it might take a real civil war for things to change, at least in the USA. Possibly even a world war with how things are going. We're already barreling towards that cliff with the federal governments foot on the gas... I just hope I live through it.
