  sure. we can all be millionaires.

  except that inflation rates will then go nuts and each peanut is going to cost you 2 million dollars.

  you'd still be complaining then.

  When it happens that we are all equally rich, what will happen is that someone will want to be more rich. He will do some work for you. Because you will pay him so that you can laze around. Soon there will be the 10 percent rich with all the money , the 10 percent poor with all the money gone, and the 80 percent spread inbetween.
