There are in fact other ways to make people more equal, like helping by giving away food, for instance, or helping orphans to make their one-day dreams come true. Money is not everything. This being said, giving 1 millions to everybody will fail, as you analyzed it.

Now to answer the final question, adding a proton to every single element will destroy everything. Matter is in general neutral and adding a proton without touching the electrons will make it charged. And charged guys interact. End of the story, and the world, probably. I am not sure this is what you had in mind.

Another option would be just to consider the element nature and ignore the electrons (I don't know whether this is what you have in mind too). Then, nothing changes. Each element becomes the next one, and free electrons become hydrogen atoms.
