Basically Clara is using the typical
>rich people are bad, the little guy is good

while completely ignoring market forces.
Nothing is free, in order to do "good" you first need a source of income, and if that source of income doesn't exist, how can you do good for others?
Basically she's saying "rich people should give money to the little guy because they have more". In this ideal situation it works because he's super rich, let's say that he has 100 million, and he can afford to save the tiny bookstore.
However, what happens when he doesn't have that much money? What if he only has 1 million, and he's not that rich? Should he still give away his money? This is the typical trap of these Communistic exercises; which is the cutoff to be considered really rich and be forced to pay for others?
