For myself, who shares many of the same views as MattyC, both social mobility and democracy are more important than wage equality. In general, more unequal societies are less socially mobile (see generally the huge difference in social mobility in Canada versus the US), and in turn I believe that this hurts all aspects of society: the best and brightest are not (necessarily) being given opportunity nor are being rewarded, and eventually it will follow that productivity, innovation, and other important capitalist paradigms are hindered.

I am no hardcore socialist. But social mobility and entrenched inequality do not strike me as beneficial for society.
