Is it really so hard to explain that a great number of people with relatively high incomes are not wealthy? Or that wealth and income are different things? Or that high income earners are the ones that already pay most of the taxes? Or that their ranks change from year to year?

No. But it's much easier to go along to get along, especially when you don't give a hoot in hell about principle and instead want to hold on to your phoney-baloney job at all costs. This is why political parties die.

“a great number of people with relatively high incomes are not wealthy”

How Much in Gross Sales does the owner of a corner convenience store have to generate in order to cross the threshold of being “The Evil Rich” according to these clowns? While they’re living in the apartment upstairs from the shop?

$1/4 Million income is now the threshold identifier of greedy, rich, oppressors of the poor?

Well said. I look on wealth as something the “rich” have and income something the middle class has. With wealth you can control your taxable income.
