I doubt this. Sounds like billionaires are asking their media to write this stuff while they lobby the government to keep their taxes low.
We, the average person, blame the government and deflect our attention away from the billionaires on their boats.
Wired.com is owned by conde nast which is owned by advance publications which is owned by the families of Donald Newhouse and Samuel Irving Newhouse Jr.
Title would probably be accurate if it said “small subset of millionaires”. Taxes are low because millionaires paid congress to make them low
Yeah also what constitutes a millionaire? Because if you're including property ownership then most homeowners in metropolitan areas will be there already.
I don't think millionaires are the problem anyway, it's the billionaires.
