yeah, the top 5% includes basically any married professional couple, and any above-average successful individual like a small business owner or lawyer or consultant. they aren't "rich" people, although they likely may be one day.

They aren't rich? Let me get my tiny violin out!

It's not about whether they are rich but about whether they produce income that can be taxed to pay for the needs of the poor.

i didn't say they deserved your sympathy, you projected that onto me because you have a political agenda.

good luck with the taxes thing though.
