relevant accurate facts many of the facts or generalizations are in fact opinions for instance the suggestion that one million dollars is needed to live in the us without working is highly subjective one could live on quite easily based on the average rate of return for conservative investments like mutual funds furthermore actual cash is not necessary many people live comfortably on businesses worth less than that they own also using marxist language in the initial definition shows a political pov as in the main defining characteristic of the working class is its dependence on wage labor or salaried employment as the main or only source of income because of lack of capital assets or land that could provide an alternative source of livelihood in reality one could argue that the main defining characteristic is simply whether one is in management or whether one uses physical labor or 'brain' labor in today's economy it is not simply the lack of capital assets or land that may indicate working class but also a lack of marketable knowledge you can own acres of rural land in most us states that would be impossible to earn a living on while having the right knowledge could earn you a living anywhere finally the alleged sexual habits of the working class citing research and years old is irrelevant to this article unless we are going to take the ridiculous practice of defining working class by their sexual habits also judging certain sexual habits as sophisticated shows a pov and this whole section is childish october
