Is it consistent with utilitarianism

Question: I dont care how rich the very rich are. I care if they became rich in an unethical way, or if they use their riches in a particularly cringer or revolting way. I wouldnt mind if they lost [their wealth] or had it taxed away. But I dont mind if they keep it either. But I do find poverty of the very poor unlovely. That condition deserves, in my opinion, our most intensive care. I believe that the present focus on inequality of income diverts national attention from it" [Stein, 1996, p. A14]. Do you agree with this statement? Is it consistent with utilitarianism?
