Sounds like you're approaching that claim more from an ideological basis rather than any sort of analysis.
The question of whether you're a net producer probably depends on what your employer does and asks of you, versus what you consume. Some organizations absolutely do not have an even balance between their dollars and their consumption (an extreme example: any organization profiting off of slave labor is undeniably consuming more than they're paying--that's just how externalities work).
So yeah, I don't really expect more details because your privacy is your privacy, but if all you can say is you're net earning money, I wouldn't equate that to being a net producer.
