He wants to make it difficult to accumulate wealth. You can see it happen in the past 5 years.
Keep the population in the serfdom class.

If he times it right it'll collapse well into his 4th year and then he can declare Martial Law and retain power indefinitely as he presides over the ruins and attempts to build his collectivist police-state.
Which will fail.
Miserably.

I suspect the collaspse will increase not that part time workers are getting their hours slashed.
