That doesn't mean that a salaried person's worth ends with their death while a CEOs worth is part of a legacy. The worth of the salaried person is what he saves and invests of his salary, his assets. That worth endures and it treated just like the assets of the businessman at death. You forget that the businessman draws income from his business while he is alive just as the worker draws a salary. The businessman's assets are only what's left over after he has drawn his income. That's the same as for a salaried person. It's just that one pays himself from his business and the other is paid by someone else from that someone's business.

"The former ends when you quit making payments." You are really restating the definition as posed by the current system. No she is stating something inherent in the nature of the asset or activity. If you work for hire you are getting paid for your work. If the work ends (you quit or die are fired, or retire) than the wages end (you might have a pension but that isn't wages). That doesn't mean that a salaried person's worth ends with their death while a CEOs worth is part of a legacy. A salaried person's wages end with death. His assets can get passed on. The CEO's wages also end at death and his assets can get passed on. They are treated the same way. Tim
