I've been hearing this argument about dispossessing the rich for more than fifty years, and it's as stupid now as it was back in the fifties.

For starters, if you take all the money in the country and distribute it equally, how much would each of us have?

Not bloody much!!

And when we decide to spend it, just what will we be spending it on?

Where is the incentive, and where is the wherewithal, for anyone to manufacture, or farm, or govern?

Like it or not, without Capital there is no Labour, no jobs, and no hope for any future.

Total equality may be very appealing, and would be great except for one thing. Every society that has tried to make it work has failed, for the very good reason that somebody always winds up giving the orders, and that coterie always ends up ruling by dictat and imposing a repressive regime.

If someone could work out how to make such a society work in any community larger than a village, it would already have happened. The fact that it hasn't would seem self explanatory.
