According to the Statistics of Income Bulleting, for 2003, the last year for which data are available, taxpayer with between $100,000 and $200,000 accounted for 10% of all taxpayers. Taxpayers earning over $200K amounted to 2.8-2.95% of all taxpayers.

Like I said, you're rich.
And he says -- "No -- 98% of the population is middle class or poor."

Sebby apparently thinks of "rich" in absolute, not relative, terms measured against certain symbols of conspicuous consumption and/or ability to make certain lifestyle choices.

P.S. Do those numbers reflect wages, or income from all sources?
