Because "affording more for everybody" is not an absolute good and end in itself?
Just guessing.
Not in a zero sum universe, to be sure.
Redistribution of wealth only works in a voluntary setting, such as religious communities.
Soviet-style "share the wealth" schemes are colossal failures.
What would be your solution for the "have nots"?

It would be better to push for "more for everybody" through capitalism then its current position of pushing socialism. Socialism is nothing more than legalized stealing. Legal for secular laws but not for "divine laws". The churches current position puts it in violation of the commandment "thou shalt not steal" by encouraging its flock to vote for politicians who would implement socialistic legislation.
