This is just class infighting, though. If you don't own the capital, you're labour. Yes, some labour is paid better, sometimes much better! But if you can be fired, you're labour, and fighting with other labour is counter-productive.

Instead of scrapping with someone who makes twice your wage for half your work, we should all be scrapping with those who own the capital, who are profiting from our labour, who even allow for such crappy jobs in the first place. We should ALL be paid well and have respectful work accommodations.

If you make $400k/yr, you are a fool if you have not invested the large surplus.

And that investment is the capital for someone else's business.

And you don't have a large surplus at that salary, you are also a fool.

You are missing the entire point that it doesn't necessarily have to be this way and use it to finger wag a straw man.
