A worker earning $36 an hour wouldn't make $75,000 a year.
The millionaires are fine.

Can you not realise what is and is not a joke?
I am aware of the Government Accountability Office. I want something more powerful than that. The Government Accountability Office is a toothless organisation without the resources and power needed to really identify and defeat Government inefficiency.
Finally some good fucking management
Gold is nothing if not something that can be easily and efficiently smuggled. The gold can be simply re-cast into generic gold bars or minted into back-dated Russian bullion coins. Just one passenger car can smuggle millions of dollars of gold across the border while attracting little scrutiny. From then, it can simply be easily sold to bullion dealers. Then the cash can be ferried back across the border or deposited in accounts at Kremlin-friendly banks.
If you have a network of agents doing this, you could probably offload thousands of ounces worth millions of dollars a month.
There's also the simple option of sending it all to a shady Chinese commodities exchange.
Hey, that's not true! The president still has to obey the law. He just can't be punished for breaking it. And you can't use evidence against him.

China isn't doing this for the money. They do it to keep those countries under their thumb. It's more like, "Yeah, you owe us a billion dollars, but we'll forgive half of it and give you a fifty-year extension on the rest because we're just the best of pals!" And then your country is expected to vote with China in the UN for the next three decades. On top of that, it makes the Chinese government seem really rich and powerful, which is helpful for both its internal and external politics.
China is trying to buy its way to the top like the US did in the mid-twentieth century.
Oh, did I say $33/hr? Oops, I meant $36/hr.
$36 an hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $74,880
