Why is inequality seen as inherently bad

Why do people view inequality as a problem rather than the issue being that the poor are poor. I can understand the view that it is a problem that the poor are poor or with policies that make the poor poorer and the rich richer but I would view a policy that made the poor 1.5* richer and the rich 2* richer a positive policy. This would be a policy that benefited everyone but increased inequality and I can not see the problem with such a policy, yet people seem to think that inequality is an inherent problem, why?
