That depends. Can their bodyguards be trusted? Can the gates in front of their mansions keep out the barbarians?

History is replete with negative answers to these questions, so it's better to employ the masses I think.

To provide employment for the masses while radically slashing the minimum wage, and then esmaculating the unions so the workers won't have the means to fully express their discontent.
