What constitutes rich? I see people say "rich people should pay more taxes" but I wonder who determines "rich." Can the definition of "rich" be adjusted? If the "rich" are being taxed, who's to say that they won't adjust the definition of rich to encompass other income levels? What prevents you from being judged "rich" compared to some other person and taxed an exceedingly large rate? And who supports a family on minimum wage anyways? I worked from minimum wage (as a teenager) and in less than a year I was making $10 an hour, and now I make $50k with only an associates degree. So do I qualify as "rich?" Is it $40k, $30k, who decides? What's to stop it from encompassing me one day? Or you?
