"X has more than Y has" or "X has more than Y

Hello everyone,

All is on the title of this topic.
I know that when we compare we should keep parrallelism regarding verb tenses (X did more than Y did/X has done more than Y has done), but what about the verb "to have" when used alone? Do we consider it as a normal verb (X earns more than Y does) or should we use it the same way as the verb "to be"(X does ... more than Y does)?

The same question is asked regarding other particular verbs like "can" ==> X can do more than Y can/does/can do ?

Thank you for your help!
