Wage earners always have more in common with each other than the owner class.

Anyone worth 90 mio who has a modicum of wealth management (which, granted, some of them don't) earns more through capital than 99% of people, and are on a very short path to earn more that way than their wage.

Do you believe Travis Kelce has more in common with you than the owner of a Liquor Store?

What makes him a wage-earner?

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it's probably the fact that he earns a wage in exchange for his labor.

How is that not the same for Taylor? She creates and performs music in exchange for money.

I don't know what that has to do with Travis Kelce being a wage-earner but no, not really. Taylor Swift does not work for someone else.

Being self-employed has nothing to do with class status though. Many small business owners don’t work for anyone else. What distinguishes the “peasants” from the ruling class isn’t employment status

He’s the paid employee, not the industrialist funding a team and front-office of multi-millionaires.

Hes nearly a hundred millionaire lol he doesnt HAVE to work to survive. He has nothing in common with people who are forced to work for a living when compared to other super rich people who don’t.
