Why bother? social security, medicare, and medicaid generate quality of life improvements.

Money redistributed isn't hurting anything, and a future govt can inflate away that debt

Increasing taxes and redistribution for "quality of life" necessarily decreases savings and investment. investment is where long term quality of life is determined.
