"If you think of a middle-aged professional couple living in, say, New York City or San Francisco, each making about $200,000 a year, filing a joint tax return, already in a high bracket, paying through the nose for rent or maintenance or a mortgage, you’re probably not going to describe their lifestyle as “rich.” I live in one of the most expensive cities in the world, and yes, they are living richly if they make 33 thousand dollars a month pre tax, and have absolutely no excuse for not paying for a tax attorney if they are that concerned.  How incredibly tone deaf.
