Aid for pro-democracy or pro-US policies is standard practice, of course. But has the US threatened countries if they don't vote with them at the UN, or seized their land and/or assets for non payment of debt?

They are (or will soon), and that will create massive problems for stability of society at large (which is why government will have to intervene).

It's more simple than that. Most jobs don't need to exist, but most people need jobs for a society to function. There is a basic conflict then between business (who optimize for cost) and government (who optimize for stability).
