We're literally talking about a few people having more wealth than the bottom half of the country, and using that to have increasingly overwhelming political power. Most of the managers and engineers are still labor, even if they're able to afford a house in the bay area.

Worry more about the people who can buy national elections, who make their money by owning things, not the ones with higher salaries.

I worry that people are not ready for the truth that capitalism can only become more productive the more unstable it is. The theoretical limit of that instability is socialism in the Marxist sense, since only at that stage will people be prepared psychologically for the spontaneous, hyper-technologically mediated forms of labor organization. It is an extremely brutal process, but it is the only way to transform capital into something even greater.
