Oh, good! Another post from the Four DUmmies of the Apocolypse:

Our rulers don’t require our existence anymore
We are excess baggage to the uber-wealthy, the bankers, and the Wall Street “Masters of the Universe.â€
They don’t need our labor. It’s available elsewhere at a cheaper price.
They don’t need us to purchase their goods. On this overpopulated planet, there are billions of customers available elsewhere. We are just taking up space that they can use to further enrich themselves.
They don’t require our existence. Things like Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, veteran’s benefits, education, and so much more, is just money thrown down the sewer as far as they’re concerned.
My point is that those who own our elected officials, the media, and just about everything else, no longer require our existence. Whether we live or die is of no concern to them, as long as there are no bodies piled up in front of their many mansions.
So are we going to just lie down and die? Or are we somehow going to get organized and take back everything that’s been stolen from us? How? I wish I knew. After all, they also own the military, and more importantly, they own those private mercenary companies that they’ve been using in Iraq, Afghanistan, and who knows where else? Face it. Those who rule us are barbarians.
If anyone on DU has an answer to this issue, I’d love to hear it. And if you think my opinions are bullshit, don’t be surprised when those shower heads turn out to be something else.

1. The only remaining problem
is how to extract the remaining wealth in the country, including any remaining gold fillings, with minimum inconvenience to the Overlords.
No way am I taking anything out of the mouth of a DUmmy. Forget it.

2. True.
The whole reason why we have no right to health care in this country is that we're superfluous to the ruling powers. They let us die as a part of population control.
Now some moles descend on the thread, to prime the pump, prod the DUmmies, raise the level of apocalyptic enthusiasm. This is dangerous work for low post count moles. Let's hope they survive:

4. Maybe
but we can make their existence as miserable as possible as we unite in protest and force gridlock with people hitting the streets! The only way they will reach any understand is through sheer power. The elite believe that might makes right, so we must reverse this onto them!

5. I think it goes beyond not needing us. They actively want us to suffer or die.
If we don't die, at least they can profit off of our suffering. A healthy, satisfied peasant is nothing but an obstacle to them.
I do not want a DUmmy to suffer needlessly. I think most everyone agrees they should be dispatched humanely.

7. Sure looks that way doesn't it?
They moved from the "trust us" to "go to hell" in the time it took for the teabaggers to control the GOP.

8. Republicans don't care if we die in the streets
Democrats don't care if we die, but want us to do it in private.
Wait just one damn minute, DUmmy. Are you trying to say I'm a democrat?

9. We need an FDR as much as during the Depression and World War 2.
We need a JFK as much as during the Cuban Missile Crisis and the race to the moon.
If only we controlled the White House, the House and the Senate!
Sarcasm OFF.

16. An FDR or JFK would never get to the White House today
It wouldn't be permitted. It would be stopped through vote rigging, character assassination, or actual assassination. "Those who own everything" don't need a pain in the ass in the White House.
Yeah, DUmmy Cyrano is right, but somehow, some way, we screwed up and let a jug-eared Kenyan muslim get in.

10. They're not going to actively kill you.
They don't have to. Poor people food and no access to health care will pretty much lower your lifespan to the point where they can make you work until you die.

12. They control everything
and want us dead. Why should I care about Al queda when my real enemy is in Washington?
By George, I think he's got it.

14. Just some of your enemies are in Washington, salinen

But they are marionettes on strings, bought, paid for and fully controlled. Anyone who thinks the courts dispense justice, the congress enacts laws in our best interests, or the Oval Office is the "seat of power," just doesn't get it. However, you've got to admit that Washington is great for distracting us from the actual puppet masters.
If you can read this and understand it, you're a lot more perceptive than I. Please interpret:

13. If it was just the uber-wealthy, bankers, and wall street people
it would be easy. Even normal people need other people less and less each day.
In a normal day, how often do you require the direct existence of someone else? Even if you do require such people, I'm sure there are well meaning non-wealthy people out there trying to make that not be a necessity.
The individualization of more and more of life has made it possible to follow your dreams, go down your own path, be the person you wish to be, etc. It also comes with the downside of you as an individual not being necessary to the functioning of mass society.
I kept waiting for a plea for beer and travel money.
