That's kind of like the reverse of communism, but still the same if that makes any sense. Instead of making everyone poor, make everyone rich. Sounds like a good idea to me. I'm gonna take it and run with it.

If we made everyone a millionaire the world will be back to square one in a few years. Because some people will reinvest their money, others will waste it. Some will spend it on education, others on pleasures. Before long, the wiser ones will rule and the fools will crawl or become corrupt to make money or steal from the rich.
It is not money that makes people bad, it is how people use the money where things can go wrong.

well a million dolars isn't much today (well in the US anyway)
but say it was like a trillion dollars.
If it was a trillion dollars then we would have a problem, many people would not want to work anymore because they can just buy whatever they need, peoplewould stop farming (food supply ) there wouldn't be news (or newspapers) cuz noone would want to work cuz they're rich, it something broke, say it was a computor, there would be noone to call tohelp u fix it.
basically everything would fall to a point where we would realize that money is meaningless if everyone has it and by that time it would be like starting allover again.

Many Buddhists would likely reject it. Many Hindus would likely reject it. So that, at least 2 billion out of 6 would reject the materialistic aspect of your question.
Money is not everything. In fact, money is an antidote to happiness and contentment.

It would simply make everything cost more, and we'd be right back in the same situation, except everyone would have more money, but they'd spend more money on everyday living...economics...

well, the value of a dollar would lower to about the value of a penny in today's society.
and a can of coke would probably cost fifty bucks.
