It includes everyone other than Mitt Romney, Warren Buffet and welfare mothers with 3 or more children.

If you like someone, they are middle class. Everyone you don't like is poor, low class trash, or uppity upper class bastards.

Surprised a being like you doesn't know!

Top 40% make over $80K

Bottom 40% make less than $30k.

Study says family of four needs $67, 920 to just make it.

Median Income is $52, 029.

So between 30 and 80k.

Hopey Changey is working very well for them. LOL

Wait didn't Romney say that the middle class made over $250K.

Only in New York City. That's why Chuckie Schumer wants to gerrymander the tax code. Some people just can't live without private schools and dog walkers.

I believe that Obama has put forth a similar number.

Huh? neither of them said that over 250K was middle class. They said up to 250K. Granted 250K would put you in the top 2% of earners, so I don't think that's really middley.

I saw a clip where Obama said Donald Trump is a small business man. So is he middle class too?

My bad. Yes, Obama and Democrats have been fairly consistent in stating that middle class tax cuts should be for anybody making up to $250,000 per year. Romney, in recently months, has used an identical number.

What does it matter who won? After the debate they were probably 69ing like champions, only stopping to laugh at how much more the country is going to get fucked over for the next 4 years.

The US is country of policy buffs who don't believe what the media wants them to believe and instead makes rational, reasoned decisions after carefully considering the viewpoints of both candidates directly from their mouths. Sure, the zealots have already decided who they are voting for but for 95% of the country, the debates will directly influence who they decide to vote for.
