> the definition of "rich", i.e. the target of ire,

There's ire directed at high income earners who pay high income taxes? This is news to me. Why exactly?

> just moving the line of what "rich" is

Again that's the dictionary definition of rich. But never mind that. This segment of the "rich" (if you want to call them that) is already well-taxed on their salaried income - we both agree. What's left to say about them?

Standard arguments about inequality? CEOs for instance attract much ire from their pay, often in the form of comparisons to their pay relative to the janitor working there or whatever.

I thought we were talking about tax-related ire.
