Exactly, the goal is to make it so everyone has that much accumulated wealth by the time they retire. We have enough so that everyone can live somewhat comfortably. People who critize socialists like Hasan for being rich are dumb. Being a socialist doesn't mean you can't be successful, it means you want everyone to have that level of comfort and security. If they were billionaires they might have a point, but I won't say someone's a hypocrite for being a socialist with a few million in the bank.

It's also why I laugh when Conservatives talk about "The Hollywood Liberal Elite". The real ruling class are the giant corporate executives and old money. Most actors are closer to working class than that. I also think public figures like actors, musicians, athletes, etc. should be paid a bit more than the average person, being under constant public scrutiny genuinely is stressful. The gap between them and us just needs to be closed a bit with the actual ruling class' money.
