Societies have made the poor better off by preventing people from becoming too wealthy, though. Specifically, I'm thinking of the very high high-end tax rates that were common 60 years ago.
I don't know about "too rich", but if you're looking at the distribution of income and wealth, you'll find an increasing divide between poor and rich over the last decades in pretty much all western countries at least.

The rich don't have to be eaten, just constrained from exercising their worst excesses.

which countries did have high standards for everyone but no "too rich" (whatever that def means. Is more than 1 million dollars too much?) people?
