Millionaires can stay. I'm more angry about the billionaires and the soon to be trillionaires.
Nobody gets to be a millionaire without exploiting people.
If I kept my current lifestyle and had a job paying twice as much, I'd be a millionaire by the time I retire. And twice as much would be around 100k€. Which is a lot, but still something a decent amount of people make. And it's not like it'd be impossible with less.
Being a millionaire is the new middle class. Had I not married, I would be a millionaire just from my work; after about fifteen years.
That's definitely not true. I feel I live a pretty humble life, but with my retirement goals I will be a millionaire. I'm definitely not in the capitalist class.
Bernie Sanders' net worth is now more than a million
You could be a very fair pricing dentist and easily get a net worth over $1m over your career.
Depends on what you mean by millionaire, in liquid capital? Sure probably some exploitation depending on factors. In net worth? Pretty sure my grandmother is a millionaire from our home alone.
Becoming a millionaire is not as hard anymore. And it's definitely not necessary to exploit anyone. You can work hard enough to justify it all though you'll need to be good at something or build/Create something alot of people want to buy.
Billionaires, should not be tolerated.
Some jobs do pay like that though, but that's the lower-end of the millionaire bracket.
thats actually hundred millionaires to billionaires they exploit people. MIllionares often do have to "work thier way up" most of the time. people who are born which rich, or upper middle class dont work thier way up, and they are usually much wealthier than 10million+, and usually dont stay millionaires if you already born into upper middle class(richer than 1mil+)
