The reason why we have so many jobs in this society is because we have so many problems. Lets just imagine all of the medical problems just disappeared, what would happen to all of the jobs.
I would be a evil politician, or put into perspective, an unbiased politician. We, as a society, have gotten used to everybody doing nice things and trying to maximize happiness, a person who does not do nice things or goal is to maximize people's happiness is looked down upon.
Someone falls down, if a person walks right by them (aka doing nothing and not pushing them down) that person would be looked down upon.
