      A majority of millionaires are well educated and intelligent people with a firm grip on reality.

      If we can’t come together enough as one people to thwart possibly the greatest threat to America and our allies in history, then Jesus fucking Christ, do we even deserve our freedom. Trump wants to cede land from a democratic sovereign nation to Vladimir Putin. That’s where he is. You gotta ask yourself, what’s next.

      Millionaires are not what they used to be. Something like 10% of the population has at least $1m net worth.

      A majority of millionaires are not American Libertarians, the “I’ve got mine, fuck everyone else” crowd

      We duh, the suburban McLean Virginia millionaire has been the beating heart of the Democratic Party since Clinton.

      Millionaires are not the same as the super rich. It probably just means you are a middle-aged or older professional couple who owns a home.

      Having a million or two in assets is essentially what middle class used to be: decent house, two cars, three kids, and a retirement to some place that doesn’t entirely suck.

      It’s not *rich*. You’re not going to see any benefit from all those tax cuts Trump loves, nor any impact from ones Kamala has proposed.

      A majority of everybody is planning to vote for Harris…

      The electoral college is the gop’s hope… And scotus… And disenfranchisement

      Because we have something to lose. Poor Republicans will burn this country to the ground because they have nothing to lose and think they are getting revenge against brown people and “the swamp”.

      A majority of millionaires are normal middle class folks. Millionaire=/=top 0.01%.

      Remember the saying… what’s the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars? About a billion dollars

      7 and low 8 figure households will still benefit more under Harris than trump, they’ll weather the storm probably fine under trump, but until you’re in the 9, 10, 11 figure club, Trump offers you nothing.

      You’d think Trump’s program is made to please millionaires. If most of them are against him their opinion on Trump must be pretty bad.

      We’re technically millionaires and I’m 100% voting blue all the way down the ballot…are you kidding me, it’s not even a question. I love my country, my daughters, my neighbors, and democracy waaaaaaaaay more than I’m worried about tax hikes (which are necessary).

      Harris/Walz 2024, LFG. Check your voter registration, bring everyone you know, and let’s crush that orange fucker AND his cronies lower down on the ticket. It’s time to put this lame-ass circus to bed. 💙🇺🇸

      Want to know why? THIS is why.

      [https://youtu.be/QPKKQnijnsM](https://youtu.be/QPKKQnijnsM)
      Wealth inequality in America.

      One of these candidates has benefitted the 1%. The other proposes making them give a little more to society.

      The tax cuts Trump enacted in 2017 cut the corporate tax rate by 14%. It also slowly gets worse for anyone who doesn’t benefit from stock buybacks, accelerating corporate profits, etc etc.

      Millionaires are not in the 1%. In fact, millionaires in America today look more like what the middle class looked like 40 years ago. The “middle class” today looks more like the lower class did 40 years ago.

      Just watch the video, please.

      This seems like it’s basically a slightly different variety of the “college educated voters” polls. Prob have some boomer pensioners who bought their first house for $10k before selling it for $1.5m pulling that number down some.

    33. salvevie on

      Even millionaires like a country without chaos, Harris offers stability, integrity and common sense.

    35. srs_time on

      Older people with savings have a lot to lose from erosion due to inflation. More supply side economics does nothing at all for them. The stock market’s already on fire. Handing [another] couple trillion to billionaires does very little good for everyone else.

    36. ShweatyPalmsh on

      I mean yeah. The thing that’s worse than higher taxes is their net worth tanking because it’s rolled up in markets. Trumps whole economic plan isn’t just bad for normal middle class Americans, It’s also horrific for most high earners as well 

    40. jagaloonz on

      I’m a millionaire. I’m not a citizen, so I can’t vote, but if I could, I’d sure as fuck cast my ballot for Harris.

    41. tatsumakisenpuukyaku on

      I can’t be a millionaire and vote for Harris. But if Harris becomes president I will most likely be a millionaire during her (pending) reelection, assuming she continues the core of Biden’s economic policy.

    46. Racecarlock on

      A lot of people’s reaction to this is going to be “Why should I care what the millionaires think?” so allow me to clarify why this is important.

      **Rich people who want tax breaks are Trump’s main demographic.**

      It is, in fact, a pretty significant development that Trump can’t please affluent and upper class people. If the millionaires and billionaires aren’t going for him, who the hell else has he got aside from the fox news base and the conspiracy podcaster base?

      Too much money to get caught up in identity politics. Not enough to benefit from the dismantling of democracy.
