Desire _everyone_ to live forever.
What kind of monster are you that you don't think thats a laudable goal?

I think there are many compelling ethical and philosophical arguments one can make against wanting everyone to live forever.
We shouldn't confuse live extension with living forever. Oddly enough, David Attenborough is in the news today for suggesting population control is a huge and growing problem[1]. You could argue that research into extending human life when we are looking at significant problems with population overcrowding and competition for resources in the near future is putting the horse before the cart.
I am not sure which side of the fence I fall on. Medical research can allow people with previously incurable conditions to live full lives. This is a laudable goal. But that's not what you said - you're talking about living forever. Is that so laudable? I would certainly not call someone who thought that was a truly awful idea 'a monster'. Indeed, there's lots of speculative fiction based around how awful it would actually be to live forever (or even a very long time).

And also, at the same time, cannot be bothered to raise labor wages.
What the fuck?
Sounds perfectly consistent to me.

As long as the immigrants keep coming, why bother raising wages?
Of course, the result won't actually achieve that. But it is not an unhonorable goal. Involuntary death is not a virtuous thing.
