Well eventually the top level is brought down through revolution.
One might think some form of wealth based taxation is preferable to that.
The closer you get to the point of revolution the less likely the elite will be willing to part with the wealth they have accumulated so it’s probably politically easier to do something now.
Now this is more abstract philosophy because no one can specify at what point the wealth gap is too much but at some point we will see it. The US as evidenced by the Capitol riots and BLM protests are showing signs of a dissatisfied lower class
