TWY, from the article: These Americans—many of whom would hardly call themselves wealthy—reported an adjusted gross income of $209,000 or higher, and they paid 49.7% of all income taxes. An AGI of $209K/year is indeed considered very wealthy for most people, especially liberals who buy into the class warfare envy.
