TakeYouToTasker Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Keep in mind this is the same doucher that said middle income was 200-250k. It's unbelievable how out of touch this silver spooner is. Is this the best candidate the Republicans got? Actually, when the term "middle class" was coined it was used to reference those people making the equivalent of 200-250k/year. The group directly below that, comprising the majority of Americans, was referred to as the "working class". It was called the "middle" class because it characterised a growing segment of the population whose productivity and means fell between that of the everyday American and the affluent.

Buftex Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Sorry BS (somewhat appropriate...lol) You are falling for spin. Mr Romney referred to taxpayers who earn 200 -250k, and less. Those on the left, conveniently trimmed that off the quote, and you, along with most in the "press release" media went right along. . Kind of like the "you didn't build that" quote that the Republicans trimmed, so they could have a bumper-sticker slogan to base their convention on?

It's unbelievable how out of touch this silver spooner is. Is this the best candidate the Republicans got? This is Obamas very definition of middle class. Less than 250,000 household income. So mitt uses the democrat definition and he is branded out of touch. Interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Kind of like the "you didn't build that" quote that the Republicans trimmed, so they could have a bumper-sticker slogan to base their convention on? Nope. Not comparable at all . The context of the President's speech was actually even worse an attack on success than the oft-quoted "you didn't build that" Anyone who reads the ENTIRE speech and then tries to qualify that bit as a reference to infrastructure, is a buffoon. but, this is a distraction from the point of this thread. I am sorry for that. However, the posters attempt to pass off the left's revision of that speech had to be called on. .

DC Tom Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Actually, when the term "middle class" was coined it was used to reference those people making the equivalent of 200-250k/year.

It was called the "middle" class because it characterised a growing segment of the population whose productivity and means fell between that of the everyday American and the affluent. ...equivalent to the "merchant class" and "laborers" in older terms ("older" going back all the way to Assyria and Babylonia, at least). The equivalence of "middle class" to "working class" is, as far as I can figure, is a post-war American development. (At the very least, the distinction was perfectly clear in the 1920's).

BiggieScooby Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Would you consider upper middle income as middle income? Given the fact that household income of $200,000 or greater puts you in the top 2.67% my answer would be no these folks are not upper middle income they are in the top 2.67%. Extending the Bush Tax Cuts for folks who make above $250,000 is ludicrous considering the "dire" nature of our deficit. Remember that the FICA taxes (Social Security, is capped at $110,100 of income). The Simpson-Bowles commission suggested cutting SS 3% across the board. Why not uncap the FICA tax to the first $250,000 of income so these other "middle-incomers" can contribute their fair-share? And this has what to do with the thread? Taking Donald Trump's stance, your opinion matter's not since you are a Canadian - how are you "entitled" to talk U.S. politics? Also as Mitt Romney explained you don't matter because as a Canadian you are not paying any U.S. taxes like the bottom 47% of Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
