You've made the case that what you call "social suffering" exists, but you haven't made the case that we should care about it. There are people struggling to survive, even in a country like the US. We have people dying in hospitals at differential rates based on their poverty level.

One sweet day when everyone is guaranteed the most basic of human necessities, maybe then we'll start caring about the anxiety a (small-minded) percentage of us feel when our neighbor has two Teslas and we only have a Leaf.

In a democracy the concerns of everyone are brought to the table, both the starving and the well fed.

Well I'd say the well fed are getting 90% of the food while they are only 1% of the table
