Poverty doesn't require that you work for others; most in history were poor, but were not employees. Through most of history rich people did in fact feel safe among the poor. They didn't hang there because that made them lower status. You can only deliver universal abundance if you coordinate to strongly limit population growth. So you mean abundance for the already existing, and the worse poverty possible for the not-yet-existing.
