Looking for cheap overqualified climbers? Stop looking.

I'm not in the tree business, but my experience has been that most workers think the owners are making a fortune with no clue what the costs of business actually are. Believe me, all of what you aren't seeing in wages doesn't equate to owners profit. When you start your business(based as you state) I'll be interesting in seeing how it all works out. Sounds like your plan is to have a large number of crews working for you and dreams of the massive profits you'll be making. Good luck as reality sets in.

The problem is actually cultural- a smug sense of entitlement along with contempt for capitalism, success, and the American way. All of that combines to make people think they're victims of others instead of accountable for their personal choices by free will.

I am a Nietzschean bugman

so you're a low on the totempole underling with no skills, thinking he's got all the ideas and wants all the money but no real way to prove himself or his plan.

got it

Realistically once i get my business set up

Do that, and run it for a few years. Then come back with the big talk.

The profits would be small you would to have like 20 crews to make it work.

A few posts back you were making $36,500 per crew. Now it takes 20 crews to make a living? By your figures that would be $730,000/year.
