    You’re literally attacking middle class people for having a small yacht.

    Your concept of wealthy is really skewed.

      “Middle class” and “small yacht.” Most middle class people can’t even afford a house. This is something that costs more than a luxury car.

        Yea no one in the middle class can afford a house, a couple of cars and a small yacht.

        It’s impossible without having billions in the bank!

            I think there’s enough room in middle class for someone to own a small yacht.

            You seem to think middle class means poverty and near homelessness.

              I think there’s not enough room in “middle class” to buy a home and a yacht that costs more than a luxury car.

              There’s a reason they’re called luxury cars. They’re for the rich.

                Luxury cars are defined solely for taxation purposes.

                Having a couple of million in assets is still middle class. A union worker can build that sort of wealth over a lifetime.

                You probably aren’t middle class given your limited views on some rather modest assets.

                  That is ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous.

                  Millionaires are not middle class.

                    You think a skilled working couple can’t accrue a couple million in assets over their working life?

                    Well that explains a lot. You’re bad with money.
