Economists want people more dependant on the system, not less.

This is why they ridicule independent lifestyles. The more tax cattle, the better for them.

Tony Robbins, "Get Rich Quick!" guru to hopeful yuppies across the USA, has had a private enclave on Figi since the 80's in case he and his family need to get out fast. By now, I assume he has at least 1 private jet at his disposal at all times. To his credit, he does not keep this a secret. He has mentioned his Figi get-away plan several times.

Economists are observers of the economy, and make predictions based on past history and ongoing trends. I don't think they personally could care less what an individual citizen does.

No. Keynesian economists believe that they can manipulate markets with the violence of force and produce positive outcomes.

The result is always an increase in human suffering, but this result never shakes their faith.
