I do not consider 170 to 370 a year to be wealthy. It’s definitely upper-middle class, but that person’s not going out to buy extravagant properties, build impressive buildings, or get rich in land speculation.

The first fallacy of their "wealthy" claim is that they are speaking of income, not wealth. This does nothing to the wealthy--it hits those who are trying to better themselves (i.e., income) and promotes keeping the class divisions as they are.

Republicans are idiots for not throwing that back at Dems everytime they push for their progressive income taxes--that they are just trying to keep people in their place.
