I plan on using boiling oil to keep the poor out of my castle, how bout you?
I have a very large moat, filled with snakes, and I have lots of weaponry on the turrets of the castle to keep off the rabble and the poor who will seek succor and shelter from the plague and famine about to come.

I've had some dealings with these types, and I am quite prepared to maintain my status quo.

I think this is a win-win idea.

Provides food for the starving masses and clears up space for the mausoleum I'm having built for myself that will be visible from Mars.

By-the-way, I'm assuming your moat is the customary 14' wide x 18' deep.

Don't forget the covered pits in front of the moat with the sharpened poles in them.

It cuts down on the numbers actually making it to the moat.

My ass is poor and I cannot swim. So, roll me in corn flakes, get your spatula ready, and man the lifeboats. I'm coming in.

19. BRING OUT THE DEAD, BRING OUT THE DEAD.
We peasants will have no shortage of emaciated corpses to
catapult over his precious fucking moat into his castle.

Hopper: Let this be a lesson to all you ants! Ides are very dangerous things! You are mindless, soil-shoving losers, put on this Earth to serve us!
Flik: You're wrong, Hopper. Ants are not meant to serve grasshoppers. I've seen these ants do great things, and year after year they somehow manage to pick enough food for themselves and you. So who is the weaker species? Ant's don't serve grasshoppers! It's you who need us! We are a lot stronger than you say we are...
And you know it, don't you?

While that's beating them down, I'm going to cut their health care, winter heating assistance, and food bank funding. They'll be so dispirited and weak that they'll be unable to scale the walls.

24. I can release the hounds
Ok, only one hound, and she'll probably just run to the closest source of food or a comfortable nap, but she'll be intimidating for a second if she howls first. She has the kind of howl that sets off a chain reation of every other dog within five miles. It occasionally breaks windows and knocks things off shelves too.

27. I'm throwing champagne bottles at the servants, then having them embed the shards atop the 15 ft
wall (in front of the razor wire) that surrounds my compound. Of course, I have packs of pit bulls surrounding the wall so they can't even get near it.

I have my pilot flying overhead dragging a banner reading "let them eat cake".
