The "average American" seems a lot more outraged by this than anyone else, despite the fact that the "average American" probably pays little to no taxes.

The "average American" thinks he's middle class and is only a promotion or two away from the top tax bracket. Might have to do with all of those tax-dodging multi-millionaires telling him this 24/7 every time there's an election coming up.

I'm willing to bet that most Americans have no clue just how much money $250,000 a year is, just like they have no idea how little money $1,000,000 is.

Though in real dollars middle class income has risen to around $75,000 a year, which ain't bad if you ask me.

More than three times the best year I ever had. Funny thing is, several of my friends think that $25,000 a year makes for middle class.

I remember when I was on Social Security, going to college for my teacher's license, and the instructor and several of the students were complaining about how you just couldn't live on the twenty-eight thousand dollars a year a first-year teacher made.

I was getting less than eight on my pension.

I live on about 25k a year supporting a family of 4 and my parents get (not earn!) together over 50k a year partially from government handout and partially from retirement.

They are in heavily in debt and keep consuming more and more.
They spend more on groceries in one week than I do in a month, it's disgusting.

In our current environment I'm not always opposed to government help because I see them causing most of the problems so it often leaves one with little choice, but in my parents case it is pure unadulterated laziness and sloth.
