SGI members earn less than the 40 cents an hour that the Sea Org Scientologists earn

"The SGI is not an authoritarian pyramidal structured organization. True, it is a pyramid but it is an inverted pyramid with the members on top."-- SGI leader

The members who do the janitorial,  clerical, security, and cashier work for SGI earn less than the 40 cents an hour that the Sea Org Scientologists earn while Ikeda and his top lieutenants earn millions.
