"Most people in the US pay no taxes at all. The $250K threshold hits lots of hard working professionals and entrepreneurs who are by no means "rich" and who work extremely hard."
Let's see now... when the median family income in the US is $40,000 per year, an individual making $250,000 per year is undoubtedly rich.
They might not be super rich, or even very rich. But they're rich.
- grandalf 17y agoWhat about differences in cost of living? Is a maid in San Fran who earns $80K per year rich?
