In first world nations there is no need for poverty, there is plenty of work and not enough people, it's just that you will have to do everything..

But surely ur not a labourer of the lowest class?
Here is a thought for you, in a world there exsists 2 factories that each make 50,000 paper clips. Together they supply the entire world's need for paper clips.
Then one day someone developers a technology that doubles the efficiency of the paper clip factories. Now what happens..
They could give their works half the time off for leisure, arts, reading, family, while still giving the world all the paper clips they need and still giving food to these families.
Or more likely they would compete, lowing the prices of paper clips, securing deals until one factory is bust. Its workers jobless, struggling to survive, while the workers in the other factory, work the same as before while the owner gets rich.
