You pretty much need to be a multimillionaire to retire these days and it's not that hard to do with a half decent job and basic retirement planning, especially when factoring in a home to your net worth (which is standard). Millionaires are not the enemy. $1m is 1000x closer to $0 than $1B.

I don't disagree with the sentiment, but "get a half decent job, do basic planning, and factor in the cost of the home you definitely own" is a massive simplification and a lot of people cannot meet those requirements through no fault of their own.

Not saying everyone can do it, just that we're all on the same side. It's important to remember who your friends are. The doctor that works 12h+ a day and has a few million in the bank is not the same as the billionaire playing God and zipping around to all major world events in their private jet while siphoning profits from thousands of workers.

That depends on which side the doctor decides to support. A few million lets you play the game, and even if you’re just a pawn, you can do some damage.
