    Is $250K a year a "middle class" income? Median U.S. household income was $50K last year. http://trib.al/7TaHTg  via @MarketWatchPF

        @WSJ yes $250K is middle class income and anyone who says otherwise should live a day in a home that makes $250K

        @WSJ @marketwatchpf what is really daunting is that only 120k is the 10th percent. That is not rich.

        @WSJ @MarketWatchPF Not the America I grew up in. 50k household? That's two salaries combined for the house. Hard to live on that today.

        @WSJ @MarketWatchPF Actually, according to #MittRomney, a middle class income is anything below $50 million a year, like him. #obama #dnc

        @WSJ @marketwatchpf maybe 20% of middle income earn $250k or pay "say $25k in taxes". Out of touch #Romney loses votes faster than earns 'em

        @WSJ @marketwatchpf it depends on where your making it. 250k/yr in ashburn va for family of 4 or 5 is very middle class.

        @WSJ @MarketWatchPF $250k earned in NYC translates to an equivalent of about $100k in middle America. Go figure. http://goo.gl/Oxqw

        @WSJ @marketwatchpf Median is misleading. Most small business owners (job creators) make $100k to $250k, pay taxes, and invest in their biz.

        @WSJ @MarketWatchPF Middle class income and median income isn't the same thing. Class factors in prices.

        @WSJ @marketwatchpf- It all depends on where you live. You're middle class with that income in certain housing markets.
