One exploits the poor
The other exploits the middle class
there is no lower class or middle class or upper class there's only working class and ruling class.
There is still a massive difference between poor people living in slums and people with comfortable, but not ridiculously high income living in a better area.
This is true, but only if you leave out the upper band of the comparison range.
It's like saying that there's a massive difference between the size of a rice grain and the size of a loaf of bread, but leave out the literal planet in comparison.
But there's a continuum of varying degrees of passive income royalty between the two.
