I tried it just now using ff focus browser and got the following response:

    The same case could be made for hobbies. You need money for hobbies, so they trap you in the system.

    I don't think this is quite right. If you want to make changes in your life, you're free to abandon your hobbies in ways that you are not free to abandon your children.

    This seems true on the face of it, and it is definitely worth trying to get further left democrat candidates, but it seems to me that they have to believe that trying to capture said 5% won't cause them to lose more in the process, especially if they can never "earn my vote" for much of said 5% no matter what they do.

    I gather this is roughly true wrt income (other estimates place this closer to 750k per household), but not wealth (which i believe is ~14 million to be in the top 1% in the US). Note that this income estimate does not include unrealized capital gains and that a 10% return on a 14 million portfolio is 1.4 million per year in passive income.
