I think Professor Moglen once said that the concept of giving money to the poor while earning money as a corporate lawyer is all good, but it assumes that the work itself has a neutral moral value. Does that imply that being a corporate lawyer is (or could be) immoral? What is so different between being a corporate lawyer and being a blue collar worker? We respect people working in the Ford factory because they work hard to make an honest living. Aren’t they both trying to make a living to support themselves and their family? Is there more difference than their income?

 A simple "good job" would have conveyed as much.

Thank you Leslie, for fixing it and letting us see the old post. Thank you Michael. Since I still don't know how wiki operates fully, I was freaking out a little bit, thinking what everyone wrote was completely deleted when it no longer appeared on the website and was replaced with Leslie's summary. I think we value and get attached to what we have written, no matter how "substantive" it was. I am guessing Young's reaction was similar to mine. Having said that, I think we should be a little politer to each other, and try to minimize attacking others.
