Here. How to get rich in the USA. Also, the rich _do_ pay more
  in taxes: The USA has a simple model for getting wealth, besides
  inheritance: a) invest in stocks/bonds b) run a business or more
  c) own businesses/holding company d) real estate.
  Within real estate you have: buy/sell land/properties and the
  most lucritive and the easiest to start? Rentals. Most new rich
  in the USA got rich not through a b or c, but through d. We
  don't tax rental income. It's for a good reason though: it gives
  incentive for people to own apartment buildings. This controls
  the potential for a bad homeless problem, at least in theory.
  So, that's how to get rich in the USA in a nutshell. I think
  there are also a lot of loopholes with estate taxes as well.
  HOWEVER: The rich *do* pay more in taxes, contrary to popular
  belief. "the top 1 percent of Americans paid 33.4 percent of
  their expanded cash income (a broad measure of pretax income) in
  federal taxes. Middle class Americans*or those in the middle 20
  percent*pay 13.7 percent of their income to federal taxes, while
  the poorest pay 3.1 percent."
