    Lots of people would consider anyone who’s a millionaire to be “rich”.

      There’s a big difference between having millions and having billions. No one should have enough money to buy a small country, or… spend hundreds of millions on influencing politics. Or, buying 100 houses without making a dent in your pocket.

      That’s, as they say, “fuck you money.” No one needs that kind of money.

              The rich want you to think anyone who doesn’t live paycheck to paycheck is rich, so you fight them, when the real problem is much deeper. But I can understand how these concepts elude you. They do a good job at brainwashing.

                That’s not what rich people want anyone to think. Not sure where you get that idea.
