>When we will have true abundance, what the elites will target is the convex hull of progress

We have abundance. The elite took it all.

Every single dollar gained from increased productivity over the past 50 years has been given to them, by changes in tax structures primarily, and their current claim is that actually we need to give them more.

Because that's all they know. More. A bigger slice of the pie. They demonstrably do not want to make the pie bigger.

Making the whole pie bigger dilutes their control and power over resources. They'd rather just take more of the current pie.
