According to a recently released IRS report (PDF), 1,470 millionaires and billionaires paid zero taxes in 2009.

So if I have $100 million in antiques, art work, real estate, etc., and don't work at all, I should pay income taxes?

Wait. What?

You are so right.

Why is it difficult for so many to understand the difference between income and net worth?

Taxing citizens because they are millionaires would require that we change the federal tax code to tax people’s assets in addition to income.

Journalists obviously can’t differentiate between the two. They don’t understand the difference between bullets and cartridges or revolvers and semi-automatics.
