What does the future look like for programmers? I mean, there are already companies that have software that allow consumers to do most of the things we need to already like Microsoft office, tax paying software, business software, so why would programmers be needed in the future to make new software that does the same things.

You're assuming that software developers only create commercial desktop software. Software developers create software for many other platforms, like the web, cell phones, automobiles, aircraft, dvd players, televisions, microwave ovens, home automation, custom embedded systems, etc. Even in the desktop software world, much of the software that is developed is custom built for companies to use internally, and sometimes externally (like point of sale software).

Thats not how it works in desktop software, unless a company might want to make their own Microsoft office with a "different experience", but what would be the point of that?

Competition for a superior product.

I know I kind of got onto a different subject from 1 to 2, but my question overall is, what will programming in the future be like (consider all the different industries)?

It will be about using current technology to solve problems, just like it has been since the 1950's.
