middle class, educated and hungry

Then what prey tell is rich in America?

According to you? All us Cons are rich while all you Libs are poor, kicked to the curb, and mistreated while we laugh uproariously while sipping cocoa in front of our fireplaces in our winter homes right off the best ski resorts.
 
Dont you know they are supposed to just starve to stimulate the economy for the wealthy

Then get your fat ass off here, stop babbling, and go do something about it.

Oh, wait.. It's easier for you to be an armchair quarterback, since you have no freakin job, and rely on someone ELSE to put the bonbons in your mouth.
 
And this highlights the sophistry of Obama calling people who make $250K The Rich.

The fact is that, due to inflation and an increased tax burden, in many regions of the country, it takes a 6 figure income to maintain a basic middle class life style.

people who make 250,000 and above are rich.

Why did boody claim they are not?

Because they aren't, you moron. At $250,000, in a 2-person household, you can afford 2 cell phones, 2 cars, your mortgage, your utilities, food, clothing, etc. You do NOT have an excess of cash you can just go out and blow at random on anything you want. You have a decent sized savings account if you're smart, instead.

THAT is not rich - THAT is called being careful with what you have. You still have to look at larger purchases carefully, and decide whether you can afford it, without irresponsibly dumping it on a credit card, and expecting someone else to pick up the tab if something happens.

at $250,000 a year in salary, assuming youre in the 25% tax bracket. Mean that you are taking home $15,625 per month after taxes. Compared to at a single person making $50,000 and in the 29% tax bracket taking home $2,960 per month after taxes.

hmmmm 5 times the pretax income, and 5 times the post tax income. and you say $250k is not rich.

we can even go farther.

Assume a $1,000,000 mortgage, 3 kids and 2 SUV's

Monthly Expenses
Mortgage - $7,000
Household Expenses (utils, food, insurance, gas etx) - $2,500
Car Payment ($2 @ $600) - $1,200
Kids Expenses ($700 / kid per month) - $2,100

Approx Total - $12,800
disposable income left $2,825

Not exactly a struggle to live.
 
They are 2% of the population,


If they are not concidered rich then who is?

So? Sounds like a good thing that more people should aspire to.

But no, let's tear them down.

Fuckety Marxist fuckers.

Please, point out exactly where someone is starving?

Looks to me like they are going to the food bank and getting fed.

God forbid it isn't exactly what they WANT to eat. No, it's what they NEED to eat to get by on what they currently have. I know that's inhumane, but it's reality.

Just because people can't have the expensive food that they WANT and are eating the less expensive food that is what they NEED, they aren't starving. They aren't "food insecure" either. They are eating, it's just not the food they want to eat.

And guess what, they're getting that food for free, supplied by either tax dollars or donations. And yet they WANT/DEMAND more!!!!!!!

I hear George Soros needs a Personal assistant. TM can use me as a reference. How about you?

i never said i was trying to tear them down. Dis said that making over $250k annually still qualifies for a struggle. I simply refuted that claim even with a $7,000 mortgage. a disposable income of just less than someone making $50k a year hardly qualifies as struggling.
 
Are the people who make 250,000 and above rich?

they are a mere 2% of the population.
 
How's Al Gore's Carbon Credit Ponzi Scheme going? Aren't there jobs there, tricking people and companies out of their wealth?
 
Are the people who make 250,000 and above rich?

So because we outnumber them we are justified in just taking from them? Our need is not a virtue in itself. When something either stops working for you or plainly never has, won't you even consider trying something different?
 
since when did the scientific proof of global warming all of a sudden become false? there has been no scientific study to disprove global warming, while there have been several that have in fact confirmed it?
