This should be the end goal of all our progress over the centuries, we have the means and technology to take care of everyone.

The goal, or end, of politics, thus of government, thus of the laws and policies, ought to be the Common Good.

Too much 'public policy' is aimed at increasing it, both unintentionally and, for certain classes of people, DELIBERATELY!!! THAT! MUST! CHANGE!!!
