Well, this means that my family went from"dirt poor" to just "regular-style poor".

Romney, could you be more of a stereotypical rich, white guy?  This cracker doesn't get shit.

Seriously.

Even here in Canada, where incomes tend to be slightly higher on average, 200-250K would be well above middle class.

Damn, guys. I know we're all poor, but let's try and have some class.I figured if company's coming I'll serve something close to wine instead of something close to beer.

You want redneck alcohol? The S guy I mentioned in my F&B thread has an uncle who's an moonshiner. If you don't want something made in a vat in the woods that might have a dead squirrel in with it's skin falling off from decomposition, them you should go with Bud Light or Natty Ice. Some might say go with PBR, but I don't know of anyone that drinks that 'round these here parts.

Maybe I read it wrong, but the first post also mentioned:

Obama also has set his definition for "middle class" as families with income of up to $250,000 a year.

Which is well above the median income.

You forgot a word.  He said up to.  I think his middle class income starts out at around the median and then goes up.

Ironbite-bit of a difference there.

You think his middle class starts there, but does it? Maybe it does, maybe you just put Obama on a pedestal. Romneys middle class is up to 250k too.

But does Romney really believe that? I mean, that would explain a lot, if he thinks the average Joe has 200k at his disposal.

Are we reading the same things?  Cause Romney said that his middle class starts at 200k.  And ends 50k later.

Ironbite-and I do believe I remember Obama saying the middle class ends at 250k so....yeah.

His campaign later clarified that Romney was referencing household income, not individual income.

I sure hope they do not really thing this clarification made anything better.

Well, I said Romneys middle class is up to 250k.
You say it starts at 200k and ends 50k later. My math could be off a little bit, but I was sure that would sum up to 250k.
So, Obamas and Romneys middle class end at the same point, and I have not seen where Obamas starts. Just sayin'

Of course I could just misinterpret your post. In that case, I'm sorry.

Obama never mentioned his lower end of the scale, it could easily be $200,000. Anyway, at least Romney is more honest about the fact that he hates the working class.

....The point isn't the top.  The point is the bottom.

So Obama and Romney think that $250k is the upper limit of the middle class.  May not be accurate, but that's not bad in and of itself.

Romney, however, says the middle class begins at $200k, which is blatantly a falsehood.  Obama hasn't said one way or the other, but his figure is probably much, much lower considering the fact that Obama has shown himself to be closer in touch with reality than Romney has.

True, it has nothing to do with income.

Hah, I wouldn't make any guesses either way. Obama is as much an enemy of the workers as is Romney. It's just that Obama is very good at talking left.
