I think there should be rewards for innovation, self-improvement, and hard work. That's not an exclusive list. There certainly are social needs that can't be met by the market. I have problems with grotesque inequality especially if it's the result of government policies such as taxing unearned income at a lower rate than earned income.

As for But you seem to be saying that equalization is OK as long as it facilitates the huge fortunes of the Billionaire Class. Interesting, but not persuasive.
I have NO idea what you mean... nor do I have any clue where you're getting that from anything I wrote. Perhaps you should project less.
