One thing that every leader should fear, that has repeated itself numerous times throughout history, is the fact a poor people that are oppressed from labour and poverty will rise up and take control. So leaders should not just look to appease the rich of society, but look after all people. They are certainly playing and living life dangerously if they neglect the poor because it has been proven time and time again that poverty leads to violence. The case could be made for pre-war Germany. The abomination of dire inequality leads to people resorting to violence and revolution. Look no further than the Russian Revolution.
