Apposition

The tax only affects people on incomes of over $20000 - the very rich.

Is this sentence complete? To me, the usage of "in other words" before "the very rich" is necessary.

The sentence grammar is fine in the original. The problem is that a $20,000 annual income is rather poor, not rich.
