1)If everyone is rich then no one would need help, at least not monetary help. Any other sort of help can be given just as freely whether everyone is rich or not.

2) The way money works in the real world, if everyone is rich, everyone is equally poor. There has to be a money differential for there to be rich or poor. Else, it's the same.

3) Everyone cannot be rich coz nature does not make everyone equal. Also, random accidents, like being at the right place at the right time, often decide who becomes rich or poor. These two factors cannot be done away with.

@chilloutab2 my point is based on your first submission. If we are all rich. We will only help for helping sack and no one will have to be a slave to the other.

@HannaM We can help for helping's sake even now, when everyone is not rich, but people don't. Why? Coz that's how human beings are. Making everyone rich woudl not inherently change the human being as an animal.
The real change is changing people. not changing the economy - and changing people takes millennia.

As for being slaves to others, that is also an inherent human trait - trying to impose ourselves on others and on our surroundings. you don't have to be rich or poor to do or not do it.
