But would you also not mind if your influence in that region is reduced? Remember, more money, more influence. Think of a drug dealer. As a drug dealer, it is in my interest to keep you healthy enough to make money to buy my drugs AND still be hooked. It is NOT in my interest to have you off the hook. Money is the same thing. If you reduce their money, when you ask something of them, they can tell you to go fawk yourself more easily.
