You didn't refute what I wrote. You just quoted me and used it as a jumping off point for a rant of your own.
This is why I ask people who think they disagree with something I've written to find something I actually wrote and refute it. Otherwise more often than not they are (as you are here) arguing against something they mistakenly believe I said rather than something I actually did say.
What I said in the sentence you quote is that a lot of people automatically assume that economic inequality is due to injustice. I never claimed it never is, and in fact it's pretty clear from e.g. this passage I think it often is:
"There are a lot of ways to get rich, and this essay is about only one of them. This essay is about how to make money by creating wealth and getting paid for it. There are plenty of other ways to get money, including chance, speculation, marriage, inheritance, theft, extortion, fraud, monopoly, graft, lobbying, counterfeiting, and prospecting. Most of the greatest fortunes have probably involved several of these."
