I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'is it unfair' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'ask these of the wealthy?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'ask' could be 'question' (questioning is a kind of asking) and 'question' is found within the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
