If we redistributed wealth around the world, everyone would be poor, unable to start companies, etc etc. Does that really solve anything useful? You do realise

  If everyone is equally worse off, won't it lead to lower prices?

  You can take all our money, we'd still have plumbing, fiber, and college degrees.

  Mate, "The one who speaks the truth needs a fast horse." (Chinese Proverb). Don't "overunderstimate" the reason of the average reader here and don't be discouraged by the down vote. "Zwei mal drei macht vier, widewidewitt und drei macht neune, ich mach mir die Welt, widewide wie sie mir gefällt."

  If all the world wealth was distributed to everyone on the planet, we'd all get about $51,000. I'd be drastically better off.

    Yeah, at that rate, I'd only be very slightly worse off than I am now. Maybe I'd lose... $10k-$20k to Horrifying Socialism. But hey, I could restart my life from a capital base of $51k.

  That's a lie and you know it. Isn't the refrain parroted here all the time something about bootstrapping your own company? Self funding and all that? While a couple people like you might throw a tantrum and decide not to participate, I imagine there would be 5x that many in poorer places in the world who would be able to more than make up for it and start amazing companies.
