Rich

People with very high income or wealth. In Aotearoa the richest 10% of individuals receive much more than $120 thousand annually, with some receiving well over $1 million a year.
In tax debates, “rich” often refers not just to high salaries, but to people who receive large amounts of income through assets like property and shares.
A fair system asks those with the most ability to pay to contribute more, because that strengthens society for everyone.
Visual idea: A ladder showing income from wages vs income from wealth.
