No matter how creative the job is, the matter the color of the collar,
your working class, even computer programming.

Americans are so funny with their daft definition of what it means to be
middle class. You don't get such an honour by simply holding a certain
kind of none labouring job.

No, you need a certain kind of economic freedom, owning your own
business, collecting vast rents on property (any kind, real of
imagined), You can sneak in by owning your own home I guess, but it'd
have to be outright.

After all the only reason the people you work for are able to get away
with pressuring you like they are, is because you don't have the liberty
to go elsewhere if your complaints are heard.

Until you've got the freedom to quit your job, your just as much of an
economic slave as a coal miner or steel worker.
