The pie is big enough for everyone

The math on this is really sloppy, but it's just an idea that I had and felt like sharing. The US has approximately $102 trillion in total wealth after total debt is subtracted. The US has approximately 329.35 million citizens. That divided evenly leaves every citizen with approximately $310,000 in individual wealth. That's the whole pie. If you show up to a party and everyone gets a slice of pizza that's how much you would get. Instead, you're born into this party of life, the pie is huge and you're not given a slice. You're given crumbs. I'm not a socialist and I know it's more complicated than this, but seeing how much there is to go around and how little people actually survive with seems inherently wrong.
