Money represents social hierarchy/control. If money were distributed from the rich to the poor, the astounding thing wouldn't be the numbers in bank accounts but rather the complete inversion of capitalist values. And if these values/systems are inverted, then money is meaningless.
I don't think these comparisons are supposed to be literal. It's more about the massive inequality and anti-human values of the current system. Realistically capitalism is violently enforced by states, etc. so there will continue to be no justice in the foreseeable future.
