This is a question Conspicuous Consumption

Have you ever been photographed sat on a balcony eating a croissant; or wallowed in luxury just for the sake of it? What's the most ostentatious thing you ever seen or done?

Exactly!
I've never seen the problem with having 'help'.

It when people treat them lower than the stuff they're cleaning off your porch that's the problem.
You're providing a job to someone who needs a job- keeping them off benefits (or at least lowering their dependency on them) and maybe even helping keep their kids reasonably respectable (working parents will instil more of a work ethic than deliberately-workshy parents into their kids- and show them the value of having an education/hard work early on so you can be the one with the servants).
From your point of view it can help to, say, have someone come round and do the cleaning or the washing- giving you time to do more work/spend time with the kids/eat croissants on the balcony.

The world needs more servants (or at least cleaners and the like).
