One reason is how much ever we try to disagree, the socio economic construct is still a zero sum game with an ever increasing pie. People who argue otherwise point to the size of the pie without practically ever stating what those in difficult positions can realistically do to get more of it.

Other reasons are that honestly there is not much "real work" to be done so we can argue that a very small % of existing population suffices for maintaining the system. The tiny elite (countries, billionares, intellectuals) essentially work towards maintaining their control over the system and resources.
