According to CNN, President Obama and New York's Governor, David Paterson, want to define rich as having an income of more than $250,000 annually. However, CNN reports that The Securities and Exchange Commission has a different definition.The SEC defines a rich person as an individual who has at least $750,000 in one lump sum, or someone who is "reasonably believed" to have a net worth greater than $1.5 million.
How "rich" is defined will have an effect on how people of various income levels will be taxed in the near future.
