He did it all wrong, you never draw the attention of the people unto yourself by doing something so megalomaniacal as appointing yourself emperor, you get a puppet (like jar jar bink) to take said position and control him from the shadows, so down the line when a hero comes to kill jar jar, Palpatine could have continued to exert influence from the shadows and plot against the meddling forces of good™ (you can always use their own legal system against them, or unearth some dirt to the media).
So wall street will reign supreme, no matter what puppet gets his turn at the bat.
