“People like Obama see old people as mostly politically troublesome white folks. Of course they’d like to get rid of them.”
The advantages to the liberal state of eliminating old people are:
1) Reduces social security and medicare payments
2) Reduces population of conservative voters
3) Assets can be seized for the state through confiscatory estate taxes
4) Reduces human population on the planet thereby reducing global warming and resource depletion.
5) Eliminates influence of older generation on shaping values of young people.
I’d say that represents somewhat of a conflict of interests, wouldn’t you?
