I understand there are a number of British top chefs that want to remain in - trust them to make your toast?

Re: "Remain" supporters - spot the running theme
I was listening to one of rare (!) EU debates taking place at the moment and one guy said billions (I don't remember the exact figure) could be saved in the EU economy if we voted out by scrapping ..... wait for it .... EU employment, environmental and financial services legislation.Now it's my turn to be cynical - I just wouldn't trust the largely unaccountable party in power (be it conservative or labour) to take up the reins of that kind of legislation - I think such regulation/ legislation would fall down their list of priorities.
Anyway back to the original OP who claimed that it was the wealthy that headed up the remain campaign - I'm not sure that Iain Duncan-Smith, Boris Johnson and their ilk are, by my standards anyway, exactly poor!
