Oh come on, there is no definition of middle class anywhere that includes someone with $29M in liquid assets.

I just defined it that way, go to Manhattan and you’ll see I am right.

I wasn't comparing Carlin to an Oligarch, I was complaining about the culture of quoting Carlin. If you posted "everyone except me is dumb" you'd get downvoted. If you post Carlin saying "everyone except us is dumb" you get upvoted.

Thats a fair point. I’m mostly just pushing back on the idea that Carlin is a member of the club merely because he was famous and had a few tens of millions.

In what place can you have 15 million and be middle class?

Manhattan, NY.
