Millionaires? Nah, It's Billionaires Now!Added:
It seems like in recent memory, a lot of millionaires are trying to get me to hate billionaires. And part of me is like, "Well, wait a minute. Hold on a second there." There was a time when, you know, the boogeymen were millionaires.
>> But I guess, now it's billionaires.
>> Well, I I think that flipped when Bernie Sanders crossed over it to the millionaire category. Cuz he used to be this guy, "Well, we got to tax the millionaires." And then he had a big book deal and got famous on his presidential campaign, and suddenly he was a millionaire. And his rhetoric just suddenly switched. Now it's, "We got to tax the billionaires."
