      Net worth includes all asset value. Pensions, investments, and property.

      That seems about right to me. A lot will be tied up so liquid assets will be lower.

      The 50% upwards middle class being $400,000 will mostly be the value of a house.

      Very annoying they just specify “average”. I’d expect this data to be based on the median values so it should just say.

        Even with the value of your house and 401k, it’s still very hard to believe. I just did a quick Google search and the 90th percentile in 2001 is 1.6 million, which seems more accurate.

    but seriously, how do you make it happen? surely somebody lives close enough to places he frequents, that would be able to sound an alarm letting us know he’s approaching/arriving. how many armed guards do you think he has around him at one time? it seems like there’s enough of us that we could deal with it.

    Because we don’t know where to get a torch (I presume the type with fire) or a guillotine. Additionally, I do not know where any of his houses are. I presume I could find a Tesla factory, but none are near me.

    From a practical standpoint, all actually doing this would result in is the local police and security unit beating me up and arresting me.

    Voting for politicians that will increase taxes at the federal level has not worked for the last 40 years, but maybe this will be the success. State level it has worked, but then he is not in those states.
