If Romney's definition of middle income is "$200,00 to $250,000 AND LESS" then how is $100,000 not middle income? By that definition, someone earning $1,000 a year would qualify. Very confusing.
On what planet do these guys live?! If $250K is your household income, you are considered middle class?! I would be laughing, but it is not at all funny how out of touch these men are. But what would I know, I am the lowly poverty-level nothing that works hard all week and pays my taxes. I don't matter.
Another Globe attack on Romney masquerading as a news story. Romney and Obama, obviously talking about what range of income is middle class and the top of that range, and not just talking about the median national income, clearly agree as to what is the top of that middle income range. Yet for the Globe this is magically transformed into a Romney is "out of touch with the middle class" story.
This is why I don't subscribe to this rag.
