I think that's the concern.. .

Related to this: Notice we tax income, not wealth... Even as the hyper-rich decry the guy making 200K as some kind of fat cat, scam artist, who isn't "paying his fair share"

This is supposed to kick the little guys back down the fucking ladder where they belong... with the rest of the rabble.

Far away from the TRULY rich..

Exactly.
It's never been any mystery to me why the uber wealthy politicians focus on income tax instead of a net worth tax. They can own multiple mansions, thousands of acres and millions in other assets but only be taxed for a congressturd's salary.
