PS: Everyone already gets handouts in monopoly
If you didn't get money for passing go, and didn't start with money, nobody would be able to buy anything to begin with.

I'm pretty sure nobody would play Monopoly if it started with one person getting money to buy property, and everyone else just having to hope for the best.
Sidenote: Has anybody played a game of Monopoly through to the end? Every time I've seen it played has ended when everyone gets in a fight.

I've played several games of Monopoly through to the end. And several where I was the last one standing because I'm too stubborn to quit...but I do know many other stubborn people. I've won most of the games.

I think rolling the dice and having to push your piece around the board is supposed to represent or mimic a paycheck.

Monopoly is just a terribly designed board game for its official rules, intended to keep people busy for hours during the great depression. But it doesn't accomplish that horrible premise properly because it alienates players with a total loss before the end of the game until there is a winner. And the strategic elements suck. I would prefer to play one of the 4,735 board games ranked above it https://boardgamegeek.com/search/boardgame?sort=rank&q=monopoly&B1=Go

We usually stick to either Uno or Greedy.
At least by getting screwed in those games is your own fault.

Yes, many, many times. It's a very fun game, as evidenced by it's massive global popularity.
Not surprised it's over your head though.

Oh nice, care to expand on that?
Not really. You'll deny whatever I write regardless, then proceed to immediately do exactly what I would claim you always do. Been to this dance before. Forgive me if I find it boring.

there is a game for the Wii called Fortune that is really really fun. It has monopoly aspects(you can buy property and improve to increase the rent payout), but also has a stock market. You dont have to buy property at all if you dont want to, you can just buy stock in other peoples property and inflate the price of the stocks(i buy 100 shares at $10 and that will increase the price to $12 ect ect), if you start owning way more stock in a property than the person who actually owns it, it is counterintuitive for them to improve the property(it would make the stock prices go up) because they would be making you more money than they would make themsleves.
