But one of the major reasons they are in a position to do so is because, while they and their spouses labor in their white-collar world, someone is home taking care of the kids, mowing the lawn, making dinner, and cleaning the house.
This statement assumes all (or at least the vast majority of) white-collar workers have a bunch of immigrants running around as their personal servants taking care of them. This assumption is pretty silly. I’m a programmer (i.e., white-collar worker) and I take care of my own kids, cook my meals and clean my house. I have my lawn professionally mowed, but not by an immigrant … it’s cut by small business owner who does lawn service.
