They want us to die penniless. They really hate it when their workers in their 40s and 50s start getting inheritances, and either stop working so hard, or retire early, or worse, go into competition against them.
Kill middle class inheritances, and you create a segment of older workers who are increasingly desperate to keep their jobs and especially their health care. That's a segment that you can ruthlessly exploit, and discard after you've used them up. Everybody hates older workers.
The propaganda worked. The only ways we're allowed to save are by investing in the companies that exploit us. This makes compliant workers who support the exploitation on which they're forced to depend.
workers will truly own the means of production (/hj)
Honestly, if I reach senior citizen age and things get untenably difficult, I'm just going to go around lighting shit on fire. I'll have zero fucks left to give and would rather watch it all burn.
Put me in prison. I'll be old and other inmates won't bother with me and I'll get 3 meals and endless books to read.
Life in prison is eventually going to start looking like a viable retirement option. It ain't great, but it's better than being homeless.
I have already read multiple stories of people robbing a bank, and then just sitting down and waiting for the cops to show up, because they've got some medical condition they can't afford to treat, but they know it will get treated in prison.
America the Beautiful.
Brother you will have a shit life in the future slave prisons and probably work 12 hour shifts doing menial labor like in the 1890s.
