13266537, Income is an incomplete measure of wealth anyway

Source of income is the real determinant.

Someone who makes 100k from dividends and interest is likely wealthier than someone who makes 250k on a W2 but the person living off of their assets will get taxed less.

I wouldn't say the tax code punishes the middle class but it does favor investors over wage earners.
