wealth redistribution =/= unlimited growth

Can we start with the wealth of the 1st world and give it to everyone else? Im just a poor Guatemalan man working 2 jobs to sustain my family of 8. I will spend your money buying things I dont need just as much as you but ill be happy to take your wealth.

I'm all for seeing what that looks like. I promise I have little more than you. I'm interested in stripping away excess profits and seeing what level of luxury the world gets to enjoy in an egalitarian economy.
