        I mean the millionaire class is a grey area between those who are so rich they are completely out of touch with working class realities, and those who were working class who got a break and played a good hand right.

        Personally I don’t really have a problem with millionaires, that’s an amount you can make playing by the rules and not bending them to your own will.

          It’s also just not a huge wealth disparity. Like having 5-10x more than the average is more tolerable than having 10,000x more than the average. if someone drove a car that was worth 10x more than mine, it would be a new Honda. If they had a house 5x larger it would be a large family home. This actually adjusts to the needs of society.

        If your parents left you a home, you’re probably a millionaire too. Many blue collar working folk are millionaires, except if they tried to spend those millions they’d become homeless.
