Why assuming that those 99% would do better if they had more, and would do differently, than those who belong to those 70 million now? The difference is not in different ethics being practised by both groups, but different accesses to power. Equalize the remaining 99% with the 1%, and the 99% will be using their influence the same way like the 1% to defend and increase what is their share of the pie, for better or for worse.

BTW, that there are 7 billion people on this planet, is imo the far more significant and far more decisive problem. Also that those who can afford it the least have the highest birth rate.
