At least not before you address the portion due to rent seeking. Income inequality is a problem if it is due to corporations or individuals using their government connections to secure more and strengthen current economic rents.
When income inequality is high, it's not a reflection of how it should be in a free market. Conservatives should be asking "Why is the market not evening out incomes more?". If one person can make 60 billion dollars on a product, why hasn't someone who is satisfied with making 50 billion tried to compete with them?
