Because the subject of “Wealth Inequality” is propaganda that the rich only provide for themselves at the absolute expense of others.
Communism would only work in the way you suggest if it were 100% voluntary for everyone at all levels, but it would never be that, not with government involved in it.
Not only that, but once you start serious scaling, there has to be those who are tasked with making sure everything is equally apportioned to all. Those people must be 100% incorruptible.

Bill Clinton, yes. Hillary was a Republican until Nixon won the 1968 nomination. Hillary was a Goldwater Girl. Her parents remained Republicans as well. Reagan was also a Democrat until the 1960’s “when the party left him” opposing civil rights and increasing the embrace of Progressive Socialism.
Bloomberg was a RINO following under Giuliani. He also ignored the actual rules on two terms for the mayor and took a third one as a named Independent, before finally registering as a Democrat. I did a thread last year on notable party flippers but left Bloomberg off the list.

So, Hillary left the Republicans in the 1960's, back when she was in college, and has been Dem ever since then. Trump's flip-flopping is far more recent and vacillating.

Trump did not flip-flop, that would be back and forth.
Trump maintains the same stance on most issues it is the democrat party that has changed from the 80's to now.
In fact the democrat party of the 80's is closer to the Republican party of today.
Also, Trump is not an establishment Republican, he blew them all out of the water in the Republican primary and in many ways has changed the party.
Most independents like what Trump is doing, to me that is a good metric to go by...not party hacks.
You may already know this, I'm not sure so I thought I would clarify.
