And I can tell you that throughout history, when you have a large group of poor and downtrodden people, that is when govts are overthrown.

France, Germany, Russia, US...I am sure there are others.

The US now has a class of people that have stupid money. Stupid money is when you have eliminated all forms of limits on expenditures and not only can buy anything you want, but start collecting multiples just for something to spend it on.

I personally have no problem with having a rich upper class. I understand to do that, you need to have a group of poor. The problem comes from having a widely held, and secure middle class, and they do not.
