The better solution is for people to realize that more money doesn't necessarily equal more happiness -- frequently the opposite -- and with that realization, finding better ways to use their time and talents.
Don't worship money. That way lies madness, grasshopper.

Well, it does sound somewhat similar to what Marx would say so what should I think? Maybe you want to try take the good that socialism is supposed to offer and import it. However, like it is said, a spoonfull of sewage with the best wine is about the same as a spoonful of the best wine with sewage.
It depends on what the individual deems as happiness.
