I'm a millionaire living in California. I'm happy to pay higher taxes since I have more wealth — it just makes sense. (www.businessinsider.com)

Uh, it's not very hard to find a middle class dude with a tech job who thinks people like him could pay more taxes. If you can afford owning a place to live in a coastal city these days, you are a millionaire. You're also arguably middle class.

"Millionaire" is a pointless label these days. $10M is what we're used to thinking of as a millionaire, adjusted for inflation. $1M is just a dude who could swing both a 401k and a down payment.
