Perhaps the biggest one is a conscious decision that the citizens do not exist to serve the wealthy. The wealthy are allowed to keep their wealth, as long as they are serving the needs of the citizens. As soon as they are found to be hoarding wealth, abusing their employees or the systems, engaging in corruption, etc., they will be imprisoned, and their entire fortune confiscated, and their families prohibited from accessing government assistance.
The wealthy will quickly learn that wealth comes with important responsibilities and harsh punishments, and it might not be worth it to be wealthy.
