A more realistic idea would be to have a society where those with plenty voluntarily used their excess to benefit others that are less fortunate. This doesn't mean they'd be forced to do so but if they chose to they could contribute to organizations that help the poor better their situation in life, rather than just throwing money at them (like the government does with welfare).

Then again... there's that selfishness factor. I'd say if even 10% of the most wealthy people in the world did this we'd have a completely different experience then we do now.
