So in essence, you've got 90% of the people working and 10% of the people getting the money. It just doesn't work.

The world has been like this for a long time and people have always complained about it. It won't change either. Even without free markets, corruption ensures uneven distributions of wealth. The only lesson learned for our short lives is to be one of the 10% not the 90%. As my grandfather said to me when I was a child "It's better to be in a position to complain about the poor than the rich".
