I love all these DC people defining "rich" and "middle class" ....as if they knew what it is like not to be treated like a rock star.

It was way above $40,000. 6 figures for sure. Obama won't raise taxes; he will let the current rates expire when they are due to in 2011. He would stir up a hornet's nest just to get a one-year jump.

Matt, it's kind of like MLK's "content of their character". Why is it so important for some people to define others by the content of their bank account?

Because it explains the economic conditions they face, some of which we should address through government policy.
