I have experience of upsetting GNers. 
(and frankly I don't give a damn)
I include those who have "wealth" (ie assets) who don't work for them (and in some cases never have).
The latest changes to National Insurance Contributions (which is just another form of tax) will affect all those who are employed or self-employed, but not those who have income from assets.
Generally, the wealthiest people in the UK don't work, which is something people sometimes forget when there are discussions about rich and poor.
PS. I was giving a definition of "the wealthy unemployed" in response to a question.

Who do you mean by ‘the wealthy unemployed’?
The "wealthy unemployed" are those of all ages with assets (including shares and property) who don't work for a living and won't have to pay increased National Insurance Contributions.
Do you confine that to people of working age (i.e not OAPs) or do you include everyone in your definition.
('cos if it's the second you're going to upset a lot of Gnetters )
