How do rich industrialists stay rich?
By maximising the corporate welfare the receive, to see their businesses running....
Of course, they'll be claiming at the same time to be champions of free un-regulated markets & that workers need to understand the welfare state cannot bail them out when they are in trouble.
As the old saying goes: its socialism for the rich & capitalism for the rest of us.
