We've actually arrived at the point in social development where it's more beneficial for everyone to spread the resources around for everyone else to have as dignified a standard of living as is needed.

The problem is that the right know this and absolutely do not care about it, because to them that net benefit to society is worth less than the ideological goal of an oligarchy of household owners where every man of house is king absolute over his subjects and said subjects have no means to escape the abuse without entering into crushing poverty except to submit to the whims of a new king.
