Yeah, and we can all hope that those indicators are things like "% of population with secure housing, healthcare, community, and income" and other actual measures of wellbeing, followed closely by actual government policies to provide those things directly out of tax revenue.

this begs the question of government being the most efficient way to achieve these things. the story of capitalism versus communism is at least one indicator that this is not the Utopia you're seeking

I happen to believe that we should at least try, rather than just hope moneyed interests provide for us by accident while pursuing their own orthogonal interests.
