In a way the servant economy is a form of tax on the rich. You and I pay taxes to support basic government services. The super-rich don't pay much in taxes to the government any more. Instead they pay people to trim stray threads off their little-used luxury towels.
It may be an incredibly inefficient way to support workers and run an economy, but it looks like the 21st century servant economy is here to stay. We all love watching Mary Poppins. It looks like now we're going to get the chance to live it.
