What you say is true, and there is enough for everyone. The problem as I see it is we have this capitalist system and very few really like it, so why does it sustain itself? The stata of sorting at the bottom might be a big part of the problem. For example, say you give everyone a living wage, we know there are a lot of criminal type people who will be free to study and create mayhem.
Just as we can see at the very top there are good business people and bad business people. For the sake of argument I'd say Elon Musk is a bad oligarch, and Jeff Bezos is a good oligarch. We know this because those folks are few and followed in the media, or should be if we had a competent media.
But at the bottom we have tons of scamsters that steal from people, commit frauds, like little Mafias. When you put a lot of money out without trageting it to good citizens you increase the threat of crime and violence. We should have a living wage for everyone, but we need to yank their freedoms when they engage in criminal or anti-social behavior. We could have prisons at the very bottom of society, and then managed villages for those who are homeless or criminal, and something or those who can get a chance to be rehabilitated, and then the free public we have today where people can work or get educated participate in the economy, and then some kind of limitations on billionaires and those who have too much power by virtue of money or economic control.
What we do instead is to drive people down and stomp on the poor, and then claim that anyone who is poor deserves their lot.
