It is, when the current situation means that the 0.5% of the population that controls 45% of the wealth and nearly all of the corporate stock, gets to decide economic life for the other 99.5% . Particularly when those 99.5% have no say, none at all, in any of those decisions.
I'd very much prefer that 51% of the population controls the economy, rather than 0.5% .
