"if you think the richest 2% of people in this country are folks of "modest means," "

I never, and I mean never trust government statistics. I do know for a fact that only 675K is exempt from federal taxes as of today and that under existing law the exemption will rise to 1M by 2006.

I don't consider that to be "very rich". Many ordinary people who have been frugal and saved can and have accumulated this amount of wealth. Read "The Millionaire Next Door" if you are interested in learning more.
