It is amazing how pervasive the misinformation around the wealthy and their share of income is. I have smart friends who think every worker could take home >100k/yr if we simply taxed the rich and redistributed the money. They are shocked when I explain total GDP per capita is 76k/yr, the government takes 30k of that in taxes, and then borrows another 11k.
