The best thing that any government can do is to help the people alive now, to live as fulfilling lives as possible.
I'm not sure what you mean by that. Who wants the government telling them how to live a fulfilling life? They can't even get dietary recommendations right. How are they going to help people live fulfilling lives? In the US they do it by giving students loans which are the only type of loan you can't discharge through bankruptcy court. So the universities all raised their tuition much faster than inflation since students could borrow lots of money to pay it, and many students after they leave school can't afford a house and can't get married and start a family until many years after they graduate because of student loan payments. The government turned students into indentured servants of the universities. The health care system in the US is messed up because of government involvement too. The war on poverty is really the war on the family. The war on drugs is really a CIA profiteering scheme and a way to keep unemployment statistics low by keeping people in jail. "Government" is just the title we bestow on the biggest baddest organized crime gang.
