"Group B is bad."
Pretty funny.
I think what that means is that it never was innately bad to be a millionaire or billionaire, in the first place. What matters is their behavior, how they try to wield their power (money is power), and whether they pay their fair share. There's probably a higher percentage of them who are greedy and not good people, because of what drives them, but there are plenty who are good people who inherited wealth or became rich through their own efforts.
A lot of celebrities are filthy rich. Warren Buffet and Bill Gates and his wife seem to be good people. They have a philanthropic group with other billionaires who are giving large parts of their wealth to the Gates Foundation to benefit the world. There's also George Soros.
Oligarchies are bad, though. That may be what Sanders is driving at. But that's big corporations and some billionaires and maybe some multi-millionaires, but not all of them.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
