Why would anyone contribute more than is required to get what they need, if they’ll never see any benefit beyond that?

I prefer a system where people that work harder get more so they can have what they want, rather than just the bare minimum to survive (which is presumably what is meant by “what they need”).

Cool. When can we expect to have that?

Because it is better for society. If people's needs are met, they are less likely to stick a knife in your back and take your belongings.

Ask anyone that contributes to open source. Some of us like to make the world a better place.

That’s fine and good, but I think many people imply that this is how our current system works. Which is just not the case.
