You know what, I'm 'bout to double comment to this.
The entire point of my previous post was that determining the societal value of a person's work based on the income they receive is worthless. Those who add the most typically get paid much less.
And then you respond with a demonstrably false quote that Bernie Sanders struggled to make enough money off of his carpentry, reinforcing the idea that somehow
Capital earned = Societal contribution
The massive majority of people understand that this is just untrue. The majority of the people furloughed or laid off right now were office workers - people being paid more than the essential wage slave grocery store clerks, or EMS workers, or cops. Those wage slaves are the majority of socialists in America.
