300k income is middle class? That sounds pretty rich to me...
Splitting hairs.
The median income in the US is 80k. Calling almost 4x the median income "middle class" seems a bit of a stretch...
Whatever you want to call it. The median top 20% income is 256k. 1 in 5 families.
This is a weird hill to die on.
Yeah it is. It's weird that you all have fixated on the class vs. the numbers.
But, you brought it up?
Anyways, I wish you good luck on your crusade, or whatever this is.
You're the ones screeching at 300k vs 250k by definition. As of it makes any significant difference on my original comment.
All I have said to set y'all off is that a good chunk of the country has this and isn't underwater and y'all start screeching about 250k vs 300k.
Crazy high levels of missing the forest for the trees and overly augmentative over a minor difference.
