They Need Us More Than We Need Them

They don't need "us". They're already having to invent bogus government and bureaucratic jobs to keep the peace on top of the welfare state. The actual productive jobs that are actually needed to support the current population level is very small indeed. On top of that, most of even THOSE jobs are used to support the rest of us. The number of people required to serve under the elite only would be tiny. So no- they don't need to keep the useless eaters alive for much longer.
