It's not so much that folks don't understand that 300,000 <> 1,000,000, but rather that many folks believe "The Rich" is anyone that makes more than they do. They don't stop to consider that, comparatively, they are "The Rich" in the eyes of those making less than them.

Won't they be in for a treat when "The Rich" find ways to move their money and assets elsewhere, and Uncle Sugar shifts his tax siphon to them, the "new" rich?
