How will it harm most people in the short term, exactly?
The expression "becoming obsolete permanent underclass" CEO crave so much pretty much explains it.
If they succeed in their stated goals, most will be permanently unemployed, with no political power and the government will be a.) fascist b.) feudal.
Taking jobs away, obviously.
And the only reason no longer working is a bad thing is that nobody trusts our government to create a universal welfare system.
