Exactly _how_ should society deal with it, and exactly _when_ should society deal with it?

Opinions vary.

There are those who think massive concentration of wealth is not a problem at all and is just a product of healthy capitalism. Tax is theft, and individual property rights are above all else.

There are others who want some kind of communist revolution, where the entire structure of society and property ownership is changed. The workers should benefit from their work as much as the managers.

Personally, I feel like there's a middle ground to hit. We should be able to make changes to our current system in the US without needing anything too radical.

We have some good examples from the last century, such as trust busting, the New Deal, and the Great Society. These programs made major improvements without changing the country's fundamental economic system or growth trajectory.
