There needs to be a consumer base for survival of the upper class too. Money is worthless if you can't invest it or spend it.

Invest it? You don't need to invest if you control of all of it. Take a look at any good monarchy, oh say Iraq, and tell me Saddam needed to invest or have consumers. He had a whole country of starving fighters. He invaded Kuwait when money got tight and he needed more palaces and protection. It's no different. Eventually those companies don't exist as seperate entities, they all fall to each other and the power of each is consolidated into singlular hands. The only other thing you need to keep from occuring is Marx's revolution, and that is done through the communication of culture, something Marx failed to see, and the ultimate flaw of socialist thought. Real socialism doesn't exist. It's still a feudal dictatorship under a different name.
You are right at the point though, those companies need healthy people, but not if they can win without it, which they can if they exploit it while they have it.
