I heard a report that just 400 people in the United States earn more than the bottom 50% of the population.

Competition and natural selection at work.
I read a report that just over 400,000 able bodied men in America have never had any intention of working.

No, privilege, stacking the deck, and manipulation of the Gov't and suppression of workers at work. If anything this is Darwinian theory in reverse. It does nothing for the species as a whole.

Think deeper my friend; the advantages you listed were obtained via innovation and effort, you appear to desire punishment of acheivement unless the acheiver can prove beyond the shadow of a political mudsling that there was zero advantage. That approach is unfair from the very start...
And while I, myself, applaud the level playing field; you appear to vehemently desire to hamstring anyone who, via effort or talent, begins to win the race. Socialism has it's place and I strongly support it, and it's easy to believe that the core requirements should be equal; but look son - just because you suck at business - well that doesn't make the rest of us evil.
