#1 That's not the half of it.

Tally up all the highly-aid professionals who are in essence guarding the wealth of the billionaires:

- the private wealth managers, tax lawyers, and accountants;

- the private schools and private tutors and private athletic coaches, trainers, grooms, sailboat skippers, etc for the kids;

- the thousands of family nonprofit foundation officials, grant administrators, PR flacks, and others on the payroll of tgeee multi-million (or even billion) $$$ vanity vehicles...

Every billionaire in this country has probably a few hundred or more people on his payroll earning over $100k each.

That's at least another 200,000 workers you can add to our oligarchs' servant class.

#2 I know an ex-officer who settled in Virginia to be a Yoga and fitness instructor to some very private bigwigs. He now earns double of what his superiors could hope to collect on superannuation.

Don't forget the politicians whose pockets are greased from oligarch donations. Little wonder support in the Congress for the Orange Man is lagging. Butter, meet thy bread.

#5 ...well when one party screams constantly about stealing what the wealthy have, it shouldn't come as a surprise the rich utilize their resources to protect their resources. How much corruption of our government has been just because of that? /rhet question

#6 Faster than the cancerous growth of unionized (quote) civil servants (unquote) and "administration staff" in the education sector?

#8 Any migrant on less than average wage is harming the economy.

Also they are very likely paying less in tax than they are using in resources and economic effects on Americans.
