    In the modern era there’s the Working Class, which is that of people who make most of their income from working and then there’s the Owner Class, which is that of people who make most of their income from owning stuff.

    You’ll see this division in a lot of things, not list in the different ways people are taxed (income from work is taxed way more heavily than income from owning stuff plus there are way more legal ways to pay less or no tax at all from the income of owning stuff than from the income of work) as well as, for example, which kinds of people got their incomes saved in the 2008 Crash (Asset Owners) and who got to pay for it (Workers).

    As far as I can tell Asset Ownership vs Working seems to be the or one of the greatest and most consistent lines of discriminatory treatment by the Authorities all across the World.
