One person is left with 292,000. That $8,000 is nothing to him. While the other ends up with $20,000 which could be life changing.

we should take this discussion into another thread. Its not selfishness. We are not a socialistic/communist country. When you take money from those who work hard for it and give it to those who do not have it, you take away the incentive for people to work hard. What you are left with is a society in which the only way to motivate people is through punishment and government action. The real question shouldn't be how do I get some of the 300k. The question is How do I improve myself to be able to earn 300k.
