If a society is to achieve growth and progress, initiative and effort has to be rewarded.
Inequality is therefore not an evil, but a necessity to achieve a good society.

I completely agree.
There has to be a reward for striving. To reallocate wealth too zealously stifles innovation and crushes enterprise.

Yes, when people use "inequality is bad" as shorthand for "unjust inequality is bad, for example such and such etc" they get into problems. But I don't think the best response is more shorthand.

Inequality in what sense? I notice people seem to be treating it as a given that inequality is always in reference solely to economic matters but what about gender inequality? Surely there is little that is positive to be said about that?

So wouldn't it be more accurate to say that inequality is a necessary evil, as opposed to something good in and of itself?
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
Inequality, based solely on the ideal that growth and initiative should be rewarded, is only a necessary evil if the the growth and progress of society is the objective.
Of course, life isn't always so perfect, right? As Brenus said, the short, ugly, black women have it hard. Especially when they are lesbians.
