The rich people usually know how to avoid taxes. Like Steve Jobs only gets a $1 income each year, so does that make him poor? He might get all of his compensation in the form of stock options that he holds on to for one year then can pay 15% on that income for long-term capital gains. It is one loophole they need to fix. But I'm not sure you can tax based on net worth.
But I don't have a problem with him making as much money as he does since he runs a successful company that treats the workers well.
