I sure did! I gave concessions in my contract. I gave up benefits, wages and early retirement. I watched as jobs in my community were shipped overseas. All so those "earners" in the higher tax brackets can have more than I. Thanks, Conservatives! I never realized how dedicated you all were to screwing working families while jealously guarding the rich! Makes a whole lot of sense, don't it?According to the IRS, the answer is mostly not.
Of the richest of the rich only 6.5% of income was from working, as of 2007. The rest came from things like interest, dividends, and capital gains.
In other words, the kind of income you get without having to wake up in the morning.
Which raises the question: if the rich are consuming without working, who is doing their work for them?

It's for damn sure you didn't earn their income. Get over it.
