How about a single income of $120,000-200,000/year or total assets of $1-5 million. That's what most people surveyed have said before. My personal defintion of rich is irrelevant IMO. I agree that we try to do too much with our tax code, and that it's too complicated. Like I said before, I guess you think that Al Capone got a raw deal, eh? I don't... Rich?

Are you rich? Who decides? Ask yourself instead, "Can we come up with a tax system that is fair to everyone? Can we come up with a tax system that is better for you than the current system?" I don't want Congress to be able to change ours taxes behind our backs. I don't want Congress to give anyone loopholes. Our tax system is not a social engineering tool. It is a means to collect money to run the government. That's what it says in the Constitution. Under our Constitution, we are considered innocent until proven guilty. We are guaranteed protection from testifying against ourselves. But under the IRS and our tax code, we are culpable, fine-able, and chargeable for not reporting our income (filing our income tax). That's so wrong! When did we lose sight of the principals in our Constitution? Mr. Guy,

It's about bringing about fiscal balance after so many years of fiscal irresponsibility IMO. “Americans” are not under-taxed…the rich are though.
