Is concentrated wealth a bigger problem than poverty?

We always talk as if poverty is the problem, but the problem is concentrated wealth. Instead of raising the minimum wage, maybe we should install a Maximum Wage. No One is worth $10,000 an hour. That's obscene. Would love to hear a discussion and see a movement on imposing a Maximum Wage. Not in terms of taxing the wealthy, but simply a cap on income.
