Shut down anything that "wasted" money and profit off the rest.
Because that silly democracy or socialism gives too much away to shiftless layabouts who demand a paid lunch break while they're only working for a measly 8 hours.
After all, the Wealthy elite are always working - even at football games, boring galas and dinner parties on their yachts or at their villas, they're working like the great economic strategists they are.
If the poor want anything, they should just work harder or perhaps try to be more talented, and maybe they will deserve some consideration and more than their just rewards.

Did I get that right?
