      I’m not sure, he’s not a billionaire or anything. He has money, but he earned it through working rather than exploitation AFAIK.

      That makes him working rather than owning class, right? I’m no expert.

        He’s definitely worth a ton. Estimates at $150m which will be almost entirely from residuals on Aerosmith music. But he’s also a registered Republican.

          See, that’s the thing though, he earned the money for selling music and doing concerts.

          The song is a class warfare anthem.

          I think it’s pretty important to not condemn him for political alignment ALONE.

          NOW, if he was funding Trump’s legal defense or something heinous like that, that would be more serious.

          Point being, open political discourse is critical. Don’t wanna be fascist or anything.
