At least part of the "root cause" is that some people, through

distribution of talent and ability for making and holding onto
wealth?

Quite simple, really: You mandate equal outcomes. This can be done by
social promotion in schools, affirmative action, progressive tax
rates, or any of myriad techniques instituted by a liberal-inclined
political class.

Errrr... I've had my fill of "social promotions" in schools. Thing about
that for just a moment...

Geezus - talk about a stupid idea in the first place, that proved its own
stupidity in its own failure...
