Gadaffi was a billionaire, owned stock in GE. . And only a fool would stupidly think Kim Jong Un's family isn't rich.
The rich ARE NOT what keeps the economy going, workers are. And if you don't take take care of workers, while you may get away with it for some time, eventually that society will turn on you. Simple evolution at work, starve enough of the population they will look for the first opportunity to topple that power when they have the chance.
I agree though, piss off the rich and they take their toys elsewhere. That is called blackmail.
