Reply #1: Sorry, buster, but $23K is NOT middle class

[Warpy]

not by any stretch of the imagination. Middle class has traditionally meant that class that is able to afford outside household help, whether or not they choose to hire the au pair or lawn service. It takes a family a bare minimum of a six figure salary to achieve that today.

Working class people who make that $23K voted for the pubbies because they have no hope of becoming middle class. I know that seems like a terrible contradiction, but look at what the Democrats under the DLC have offered them: NOTHING. At least the pubbies offered them a tax cut, even though it turned out to be a great big bait and switch.

These third way cretins had better wake up and start smelling the economic coffee in this country, or they're going to be laughed out of office the way the DLC Democrats have largely been.

There's a reason the Dems lost all 3 branches of government, and it starts with thinking anybody making $23K a year is middle class.
