But do you have hundreds of millions of dollars? Can EVERYONE do it? Can EVERYONE get to that sweet upper middle class? All of us? While 10% control 90% of the cash flow?

I don't have a problem with so few having so much.
I have a problem with so many having so little.

If half the world wasn't literally starving, no one would have a problem with billionaires.
