Absolutely. It reminds me of way back when the NDP (left-wing party in Canada) was asked "who is rich?" and the answer was "a family of 4 making more than $60k per year". That honesty did not go over well at all, but it's the truth. There aren't that many ultra-wealthy. To raise real money, the definition of rich pretty quickly drops to the top 10-25% of income earners and suddenly some dude making $80k per year is being told he's rich.
