Developmental genocide is undertaken for economic gain.
A government might use this type of genocide against people who may have an undesirable drain on the federal funds, such as poor people, veterans, and old people. All of Wisconsin's congressmen and senators were invited to address the rally but only one found the time to show up. He was widely applauded and thanked for his support. Other politician's names were called out, accompanied by jeers from those in attendance. All participants of the rally were given pre-stamped postcards to send to their legislators.
