How many of you are finding out you are "rich" in the eyes of your government?

Despite the fact that all of you are OT Ballers, I suspect that a number of you were rather surprised to learn that you were "rich" today.
Because, of course, the "rich" have not paid their fair share and should pay more.

Yep i had to mail uncle Sam a check and cut another one to the state
What really floors me is that the child tax credits are phasing out completely next year so more than likely i will have to pay more next tax season.

I don't know what rich means.

Chances are if you are rich in the eyes of the US gov't, you are rich in the eyes of almost everyone but yourself and your peers. You may not feel rich but if you marginal tax rate is 33%, you are in fact rich compared to the nation, and the rest of the world.
But taxes do suck. I actually made a little bit less (about 4%) and paid a lot less this year (about 10%) in federal income taxes. Some of that was eaten up by the medicare surcharge though.

Checking in. I fall into the millionaires and billionaires bracket but my income level doesn't show that.

Obviously thrilled to pay my "fair share".

I am lucky enough to have accountants and tax attorneys in the family who are skilled enough to shift the majority of our wealth around so that we pay much less than what, uh, may be expected.
My personal income from my business isn't all that exceptional, but I sure do love the dividends from the family holding company.
