After all, we are not making anyone else richer, nor are we going away quietly, so they want us out of the picture.

We cost too much and we are less inclined to care about the stupid things that the dick-waving rethugs are concerned about.

So, make it all but impossible to do the things we were doing. Make it all but impossible for anyone who is not employed to do anything, in the hopes that 'those useless people' will just die off and stop voting for things that the rethugs don't like.

It is by design.
