(Light Politics) So, what is the "middle class" to you?

"So no one can say my plan is going to raise taxes on middle-income people ... middle income is $200,000 to $250,000 [per year income] ... " - Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, 14 Sep 20142012.


According to information released by the U.S. Census Bureau on 13 Sep 2012, the US median household income is $50,054. Middle class is considered to be $32,500 to $150,000.

EDIT: Fixed the date on Romney's quote.
