        @WSJ @marketwatchpf I think it is dependent on the region you live.. 250k can be upper class in one area and getting by in another region

        @WSJ Clinton said 39.6% rate would apply to millionaires but turned out to apply at $250,000 of taxable income.

        @WSJ @marketwatchpf Good Question?! I wonder where they're pulling this number from to describe middle class in income.

        @WSJ @MarketWatchPF It's Upper Middle class. Plus it depends on WHERE you live. In NYC maybe, in Dallas, no.

        @WSJ @MarketWatchPF Didn't Romney say 250k was median middle class income? He's learned not to say that now but doubt he cares abt the diff.

        @WSJ @MarketWatchPF When I was a kid, we dreamed of becoming millionaires, not $250-thousandaires. 250k semms like a low bar for being rich.

        @WSJ middle class isn't avg income. Avg is poor. If you don't buy a house in cash you not middle class

        @WSJ @marketwatchpf $250k might be "middle class" in NYC or South Beach, but not in Dickson, TN. $100k/yr is top 1% where I come from.
