[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PLEASE stop conflating millionaires with billionaires.  Statements like “unless you are a millionaire or billionaire” are adding to the problems we are facing.  Americans are so unbelievably bad at math, they are under the impression that a dual Fed household with a couple of million in net worth are in the same “rich” class as people like Musk and Bezos.

People need to be disabused of this notion. [/quote]

Americans who only earn a 5-figure income don't see much difference between someone being a millionaire or a billionaire, but since you view those Americans as beneath your social class, their opinions don't matter to you anyway.[/quote]

I do. I’ve never earned more than 60K. 
My parents are millionaires simply because my father worked for over fifty years as a family physician. They’re regular people who own one house and go on vacation for three weeks a year. They don’t have a yacht or a private plane. Hell, they’ve never even flown business class.

An electrician can easily be a millionaire by the time he retires.

I think the PP is correct that most people don’t understand how many millions you need to have a billion. Billionaires are not regular people who work hard at well paid jobs. Please don’t chop off the heads of the professor and dentist couple next door when the revolution comes. They’re not your enemy. [/quote]
