Anyone who draws income via rent-seeking does not trade time for money. Your landlord, most of the time (i.e. when they're not repairing or maintaining their properties), is not trading money for time; they are charging you for access to materials which, moment to moment, costs them nothing. Patent trolls make money without trading away their time -- you work to pay for access to an idea, which costs them nothing to maintain. One could go on and on with examples of widespread rent-seeking fields of work and industry; but in general, no, it isn't literally everyone who trades time for money.
