I read the article and it doesn't address the basic question... Why is inequality bad?
Inequality is not bad in a society if A. all people have an equal opportunity to better themselves and B. we as a society agree that your basic needs should be a concern for all society i.e. you are not going hungry and you have a place to live and access to education and health care.

Conservatives need to fear rising income inequality because the great socialist revolutions in Russia and China came about due to great income inequality.
As a socialist I am torn about the rising income inequality. Short-term many people suffer but long-term it sets the conditions for revolution.
