Being salaried means he sold out to the corporate whoremasters and is now part of the evil corporation he works for and is no longer one of the oppressed slave wage workers.
I'm sure this "salary"'s not all Pedro Picasso tries to make it seem to be.
Up until the elections of 2008, my evil twin had enjoyed unparalleled prosperity the preceding eight years, shoving anti-Bush caricatures out of his ass in his "studio" over there in Connecticut.

So the Polaroid kid went to work--although he doesn't have to work, really, given the money his mother has--for a mass-mailing firm that takes only Democrat customers, as assistant to the assistant of the art director there.
His salary probably doesn't add up to pocket change, but again, remember, the Atman primitive doesn't have to work, due to his impending inherited wealth. It's just a hobby for him, and the money's beer money, nothing more.
