I know here in Eau Claire $250,000 seems like a lottery amount--in metropolitan areas, like New York, where the cost of living is atrocious, that would be Middle Class.
If my math is correct, $100,000 $80,000 and $60,000 would all fall into the category of "less than $250,000." As long as I fall under that $250K I don't have an issue with the reference to middle class. Obama has clear ideas and for the first time in 32 years we have a candidate who represent some hope of to move the country out of the many messes made by the administration over the last eight years. McCain can not decide if he is playing his party politics or if he can make any change. His record shows he won't change from the path Bush has set out. And change is overdue!
I like the part when he says "if you make less than $250,000...." and then refers to "The Middle Class" $250 grand is considered middle class? What about families that dont make $100,000 or $80,000 or $60,000. Middle class needs to be defined before any of this political garbage even means something to most "normal middle class" in this country. I've voted in every election since I turned 18, and honestly, this is the toughest decision of them all - DO I EVEN WANT TO VOTE THIS TIME???
