"Rich" is making a thousand times what you
make.

For you perhaps. For me, "rich" is being healthy, have friends, and have
enough food, shelter, and transportation, and a hot shower every day. I
was
as "rich" when I lived on EUR 200 / month as a student as I am today.

Oh, do try to keep up. Everybody knows that you experience the most
bliss when you're an indigent infant, living off your mother's teat.
That wasn't the issue. You were talking about your relationship with
others who make a fraction (20%) of what you make. My comment was that
20% is hardly a significant difference compared to the statistical
differences between the real rich and poor. By definition, there are
not "many" wealthy people. Being a simple millionaire no longer makes
you wealthy.

Your comments:
"The Netherlands has many millionaires that can do everything that you
consider to be important.

But for your information, there are many people here in the
Netherlands who worked hard to become millionaires.

I can't speak for "my kind" but I have many friends who have more
money than me.

Ideally, a large percentage of the money earned above say EUR 100,000
should indeed be taxed away.

Just yesterday I was visiting a friend whose monthly income is perhaps
20% of mine, and he has been a friend for 6 years or so."
