it's not a problem if

you think the jealousy (i think that word belittles the issue) of the have-nots will continue to just be the grumblings of the disaffected and uninfluential.

Not sure that will always remain the case. Brexit and the rise of Corbyn would suggest it wont (just to pick two examples of previously marginalised, uninfluential segments of society suddenly finding a collective voice and having real-world impact - in the case of Brexit a seismic change in this country's future)
