Even just as a matter of personal material conditions, I get wealthier but I don't get any more fiscally secure. Like one of those disaster movies where the ground under your feet falls away as you race forward, I feel more precarious than I have in my life no matter how ostensibly "well-off" I am on paper.
Now I've got a baby girl in my care, and all I can think is the increasing horror she's going to live through as she grows up.
They don't even really need Socialism. They just needed an LBJ Great Society or an FDR New Deal that was still in tact.
Enough so that the vaunted middle class was still a thing a plurality of people could easily reach. That, plus a bit of long term economic and ecological planning, and they could keep the gravy train rolling for centuries.
But there's no reasoning with greed. Ayn Rand's Objectivism killed Western Liberal Democracy.
