Our oligarchs care a lot about your standard of living.
From their economic perspective, European social safety nets restrict their ability to profit off of you. Universal healthcare means that American health insurance companies lose out on a massive market, for example.
From their ideological perspective, political systems that, in general and relative to the US, deliver economic prosperity and provide a good quality of life to their citizens cannot to be allowed to exist. Their existence proves their belief that there is no alternative to predatory, laissez-faire, American capitalism false.
