I am a worker. I am also a capital owner, though on a small scale, from investing the surplus of my pay for my labor.

I am far from alone. And the existence of people like me kind of blows up your neat theory.

Do you employ multiple workers, either directly or through your investments, to be able to sustain yourself through profits?

You are the perfect example - someone who's managed to squairrel away a tiny fraction of the capital pie and now imagines himself to be in a different class.

Just because you now own a sandwind does not you a capitalism make.

My IRA and 401K aren't quite enough to sustain me, yet, but I'm getting there.
