I wonder if you are saying the top 1% as far as making income, or if you mean the top 1% making money - like income vs capital gains.

Not sure if there is an official nomenclature for such, but I often wonder as I get into threads / discussions like these if people are taking into consideration these things or not - are they lumping them together, or is it a different thing.

If I was totally guessing, I would think the top 3% who sleep in NY probably pay no more than a poor school teacher - but if we were talking about the top 1% of people who actually get a paycheck with taxes taken out - then sure - but I think that ignores the bigger money that is moved around in other ways aside from a paycheck / w2s.

This is something that I am not sure if people in other countries would be taking into consideration as well, no idea if they tax the same / don't tax the same.
