    The comment you replied to states “The rich will claim you’re driving them to abject poverty if you tax them into only having a million dollars.”

    You say people with $1.000.000 still have to work, they are not “actual rich folk”. But that’s not relevant to the comment you reply to, since them “having to work all day” and them still being able to be “bankrupt by medical debt” still doesn’t equal the abject poverty the rich claim they’ll be driven to. In other words, it doesn’t matter that people with one million are not in the same position as the people with ten million, because neither would be living in abject poverty; ergo my comment.

      That classifies people with 2 million as rich. I’m saying that even with 5 million you need to keep working.

        I’m saying whether you need to keep working or not is not relevant, since it in neither case does owning that amount equal to abject poverty.
