The Millionaires Are Back

from the just-took-a-temporary-break dept

Well it appears the super rich have bounced back from the economic bubble bursting of the last few years. While 2002 was a forgettable year for millionaires, by the end of 2003, the millionaires were back. We welcomed in plenty of new millionaires in the US and Asia, while Europe lagged behind - which isn't that surprising, given their tax policies.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    There is something good for the general good in having lots of milionaires? Somehow I doubt it.

      Yes, as a matter of fact there is a benny to having more millionaires. More illegal immigrants can be imported to work for slave labor for these people so Hillary & Bill don't have to pay as much of their weath out for menial services like someone to clean their toilets.

        So Republican economic policy creates a few millionaires at the expense of millions of jobs, and the conservatives still find a way to bash the Clintons for it.

        Hey, kids, are you better off now than you were four years ago?
