Rich and poor

How having $3.5 million just feels like middle-class in Silicon Valley here. I do understand but it's also makes me uneasy. People with a lot of wealth in America that feel not at all secure and still "just hanging in there" usually don't think they have "enough" to give to others. "How can I give? I'm not rich." Really? Tell that to the husband who made $13,000 last year with a family. He lives in Silicon Valley too.

How our middle-class is disappearing.
