My wife and I together make about $100,000 a year which puts us within the top 10% of earners. But are we rich? BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Yes you are. Americans forget how rich the country is. You must think you are "poor" if you have to watch a 29" standard def TV instead of a 50" HD plasma.

Relative to other countries, yes, but not rich in the sense that this guy is some evil person that the democrats should punish with highly progressive, punitive, Marxist redistributive tax rates.

Everyone in this country, including our poor, is rich compared to a lot of countries, thanks to our free market capitalism.

Jeez, non-sequitur much? Of course I am rich compared to that gentleman and his family. For that matter so were my great-grandparents who lived in a cabin. But the point of the thread was about the income of Americans. Rich people let their money work for them, and I assure you that my wife and I work hard for our money. The class warriors do enough to confuse these terms while comparing apples to apples, don't go throwing any mangoes in the mix.
