The article's definition of rich is a real stretch. The article says the top 40% pay all the taxes. But, the top 40% of households includes every household earning about $65,000 or more.[1] Remember that this is household income, not individual. A household making $65,000 could consist of, say, two adults and three children. Depending on where in the country this household lives, that might amount to a difficult or comfortable standard of living, but not lavish in any case. This doesn't fit the prevailing understanding of the word "rich."
