"I asked for a income level, meaning a dollar amount. You finally gave a number, the top 2-3% of wage earners. While that isn't what I was asking for, I do thank you for FINALLY answering the damned question."

1) I answered it BEFORE you asked it- How can I "FINALLY answer the damned question" when It was answered beofre you asked it
2) If you asked it before, give me a link or its not a flame if I simply call you a liar. Go ahead Larry. Look at this lovely petard I am wearing! I bet you just wish you could find a hoist! I don't think you will, because I don't recall you asking this question of me in the past two or three months, and I sure as hell don't remember not answering it.
3) As for the dollar amount: Bullshit, in this you certainly are lying- you never asked for dollar amount. Not at all. You really are being rather disingenuous and misleading here.

"Defining "wealthy" as the top 2-3% of all wage earners is a rather arbitrary."

Dear god, you really don't read do you? Do you expect me to baby-talk to you?

From my original post: " I personally think "the wealthy" are the top 2-3%. But it can be legitimately debated."

I told you that "I think" that 'X' (with think being the operative term), so OF COURSE I'M BEING ARBITRARY! I say so in my post, and then I say that the percentile rank is legitimately debatable.

"It doesn't take into account factors like the local wage scale which is often driven by the cost of living."

Funny, so your saying that its legitimately debatable! WOW! Youre really educating me here, Larry! Please do continue! I didn't know that before.

Notice that your linguistic masturbation with points I yielded before you even attacked them does not get 'wealthy' up to the 10% range, which is where you have to be to apply the term "Most income tax is paid by the wealthy"

So, LarryJ, run along now and find me some quotes on that dollar amount, because the rest of your piece was disingenuous rhetorical outgassing, after starting off in the vein to criticise me for playing with rhetoric.
