Nobody in government ever wants working/capable people dead.
Discussion
Govt officials often want productive people dead, but they usually don't want to live without control of productive people's money and other assets.
#Bitcoin helps, but does not fix this.
We could argue that bankers control all govs, and all bankers live off interest from working people, productive even. The more people you got in your geographical, socialist theme-park, the more interest comes in. As a side note, Immigration as a means to further gov ponzis also helps bankers for their ends.
They definately don't want capable sovereign individuals, granted.
