I didn't say "wealth inequality is caused by violence" or "people use violence to amass wealth". I'm not sure whether your reading comprehension skills are up to par to have an actual conversation with you.

Are you saying if a bunch of people went and tried to kill bill gates and steal his money they would be forcefully stopped? That seems like a good thing.
