This feels like propaganda for billionaires. Millionaires are closer to homelessness than they are to billionaires

> When we talk about wealth, we mainly talk about billionaires. But what if that’s not the most important truth about wealth in America? What if there were another group that, without drawing much attention, had grown collectively thirteen times richer than the Forbes 400? And that was even more effective at using its financial-political clout?

Yes, collectively the 5 million wealthiest households in America are equivalent to the richest 400 people. Somehow the people who build businesses for themselves in regulated industries are the the real villains, not the billionaires who "donate" their way into political positions... sure.
