Polling is very sensitive to peesimrs in the question. If you posit that wealth just happens then, of course, it should be more evenly distributed. Try asking the question this way and you'll get a very different response:Should people's earnings be taken from them in order to give it to people that earned less?People have a remarkable tendency to agree with generalizations that have no factual basis. The next time you hear someone rail against The Rich who have stolen from the rest of us, break out a list of some of the richest people in America and ask them to identify the ones who stole their fortune, how they stole it, and from whom they stole it. You won't get many answers.
