the large in the "owning a large amount of..." is relative. you could think you're rich and i could think you're poor, or i could think you're rich and you could think you're poor.

With regards to Senator Sanders, inflation is a thing. Also the massive increase in the cost of housing that increased the middle class net worth. He has been remarkably consistent about the segment of the population he wants to tax.

I'm also poor relative to the to 0.1% of people, but I still make a ridiculous amount of money compared to the minimum wage worker. If were better able to provide for everyone by taxing me more then I'd be all for it.

> Rich is just a word that is over-used to push political agendas. It is a relative term. I am rich compared to a huge segment of the world's population. I am poor compared to the top .1% of people.

i agree. "capitalist" is the word for what people really mean when they talk about "the rich"
