The super-rich don’t get much of their income from wages, where there is withholding of a bit more than you’re likely to owe if the wages are your only income. They get it from interest, dividends, and running a business. There is usually not withholding for those, so they’re supposed to make quarterly payments. But the Republicans cut IRS funding years ago, so it didn’t have the resources to go after them if they just stopped paying. So a lot did just that.
People living anywhere less than 10 million aren’t generally living off of dividends though either. Switching to that too soon is a common mistake many of the “merely rich” make.
Sure, but they’re talking about people with income of more than 1 million. If they’re living off interest and dividends, they’ve probably got something in the realm of $30-75 million in assets.
Point.
