The ruling powers want you in prison and dead.
The globalists want the 99% to be dumb, dependent, and defenseless.
The ruling class doesn't want you to be moral and independent. The 1% doesn't want you to
support peace, freedom, and balanced budgets.
The elites are willing to lose money in the short-term because they want to kill you so that they can steal your money.
The globalists lose money now when they support welfare, ban guns, outlaw vaping, and kick users off websites now, but the ruling class will gain in the long run because the 99% will be dead.
