They wouldn't really need to cull the population proactively, they just need to make sure they can defend themselves against the inevitable uprisings when people can't afford to eat and feed their families.
It would be much easier to justify their actions to themselves in the name of defense. Even non-virtuous people like to be able to convincingly lie to themselves about being good people.

Arguably the best way to defend against the threat of uprising is to get rid of it before people reach that breaking point I dunno, maybe by starting detainment camps under the guise of deporting people who are in the country illegally Who knows. We have no really good examples of this sort of large scale population culling to draw from in history
