So your argument is that because 200k is closer to the poverty line than 2 million, you can't be considered "rich", even though a 200k single earner is more than double the median family income?
There is such an appalling disconnect here regarding the value of money it's no wonder there is such push back against the growing wealth disparity in North America.
When a 200k earner can point to ~80,000 people and say "I'M SO POOR, LOOK AT ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO MAKE MORE THAN ME" and ~2.7 million people can point at the 200k earner and say the same thing...
