And think of the world we would create if this were the norm.

The majority of people everywhere are ambitious, industrious and want to be useful. So you'd end up with a world full of people doing creative things ... and entire groups of people doing creative, inventive and useful things together.

They'd figure out things like building space elevators, new industrial technologies, the cure for cancer (which would probably be redundant because everyone would automatically be able to afford to take care of their health), stabilize global warming, create alternate forms and sources of energy and begin the process of exploring space beyond our own system.

Instead, we have a world where a hundred people own all the wealth, a billion people who think they're wealthy but aren't and 7 billion people struggling to get by .... and all of them fighting to become king or queen of the world.
