It is the nature of capitalism* to ensure that some people will be very, very rich, while far more people will be very, very poor, even in the midst of plenty. It is hard to find the morality in such a system.
* [In Udugi, this is literally "white-people-economy." Most North American tribes do not have a word for capitalism, since they never conceived of such a system.]
