And start the backlash in 3...2...1

Ok, we have already seen that Kate (of Jon & Kate Plus 8) is a domineering biotch, and actually has "people" who help her be rude to fans.

Today we learn about the astounding dollars they are pocketing.

Jon & Kate get $75,000 per episode for their show (the network just picked up 40 more episodes), $25,000 for personal appearances, and $8 million from a new book deal.

And, oh yeah, Kate's own sister charges that the family is exploiting the kids. Well, yeah.
