Except that that's hard to happen.
The very existence of an ultra-rich means that there was someone who managed to get extraordinarily high amounts of extra value from someone as compared to what they paid that 'one' for it and then did it over and over again, essentially leeching value out of the system, making it a -ive sum game for anyone inside it.
So when you take more than you give, you end up breaking the original meaning of money (that was "proof of work/goodwill") and when you do that enough, the worth of work gets warped and those who do similar work, end up indirectly losing more than what they give.
