If you work to earn a living, you're working class. If you use capital to pay your bills, you're a capitalist. So I'd say someone with that kind of salary and stocks is probably halfway to not-working-class. If you already have 1MM in stocks then you're not working class anymore, you don't need to work at that point.

They are using a divide an conquer strategy. By splitting the working class they want to weak our ability to resist capital.

There is no logic to their argument just lies to fulfill their goal.

Just halfway seems low. But this is Silicon Valley News after all.
