Who is richer? (For that matter, who is richer: John McCain married to Cindy or the Obama's pre-book deal? Looking at income only tells one story.)
Any tax based on income ignores this difference in accumulated wealth.

That's very true. I'm ALL FOR taxing us on our net worth since I still owe more on my house than all of my assets put together
My net worth is negative.
I guess we also have to consider that there are people who have essentially no income but lots of assets.
