Paul Krugman- A War on the Poor

8. Corporations exist only for the bottom line of profit.

Corporate rule considers human beings to be "human resources."

We exist as entries in a ledger, and our worth is determined by how much profit we yield.

This is why any program that reduces the desperation to work constantly in order to stay alive will be met with derision and contempt and attempts to eliminate it.
