    There are no innocent millionaires. The threshold of wealth that requires some seriously unethical behaviour is pretty low.

      That’s not true you can earn a few million from hard work. Its rare these days, but doable. Still pennies compared to Elon et. al. I think the cutoff should be between 50-100 million. After that we name a park after you and you get a trophy for winning at capitalism. Congrats or whatever, but we’re taking the rest.

      Whatever the threshold, it needs to be indexed to inflation and COL in the local area.

      What do you count as innocent? Like doesn’t use products made in factories with human rights violations? I’m never gonna hit a million, but economists are saying we all need to have a Mil or three in order to retire? I know a couple million airs who seem like normal people, they’re just business owners?
