First and foremost: we NEED labor everywhere. You may automize everything all you want but, as proven by the industrial revolution, it would only lead to more and more trades because the more complex a system is, the more specialized roles we need.
Automation of production killed dumb laborers but increased needed labor in machinery, energy, coal mining, and construction. What's more is that more production produced led to higher and cheaper supply that led to more needed people in everything such as clothing production, food industry, transportation, etc.
More produced goods then led to more people needed in retail and trade that further elevated the spending power of every citizen
You see here?
The higher the spending power of a citizen, the better and faster the economy grows as everyone gets to contribute in the economy
However, in an idea of gated community where only the Rich have spending power, is completely unhealthy. This is because, while the rich have huge spending power, they have very little daily purchases, which would lead business to have very little profit. The poor people are a major threat because they are bound to steal and loot just to survive, which would further damage business.
It is moronic to imagine a world where the entitled rich would continue to grow richer without a business that ever grows. No, you would get richer by collecting money without spending it but once the well dried up, it's over. Your business shall collapse and you would be forced to spend your money that would be distributed to everyone through their services and products.
The healthiest economy is where no one has money. The unhealthiest is where only one has all the money.
