This is exactly the conversation the wealthy want us to have. A buddy of mine left a job recently. He worked in IT security for a plastics company that you would all recognize. In his last month, he had a meeting with one of the VP's, who said (direct quote from the meeting):

"Biden really ruined the yachting industry."

OK. What does that person do? Does he work in IT? No. Does he work in production? No.

He collects seven figures a year for presenting a particular persona for a successful company.

Think on that before you start comparing middle/lower class occupations. I'm not saying its wrong, I'm just trying to provide another magnitude of contrast to the issue.
