Romney: Middle Class Earns 250,000??????

[Krayven Sumhead]

Yup, in the world of the Romney's, he thinks the middle class is earning $200,000 per year.

Figures, in Mitt's world.

I mean, the guy owns 'Dancing Horses', so what would you expect???


BOSTON — Mitt Romney is promising to reduce taxes on middle-income Americans.

But how does he define "middle-income"? The Republican presidential nominee defined it Friday as income of $200,000 to $250,000 a year and less.

The definition of "middle income" or the "middle class" is politically charged as Romney and President Barack Obama fight to win over working-class voters. Romney would be among the wealthiest presidents, if elected, and Democrats have repeatedly painted him as out of touch with average people.

Obama also has set his definition for "middle class" as families with income of up to $250,000 a year.

Romney's comments came an interview broadcast Friday on ABC's "Good Morning America."

"No one can say my plan is going to raise taxes on middle-income people, because principle number one is (to) keep the burden down on middle-income taxpayers," Romney told host George Stephanopoulos.

"Is $100,000 middle income?" Stephanopoulos asked.

"No, middle income is $200,000 to $250,000 and less," Romney responded.

His campaign later clarified that Romney was referencing household income, not individual income.

The Census Bureau reported this week that the median household income — the midpoint for the nation — is just over $50,000.

Obama wants to extend Bush-era tax cuts for those making less than $250,000, while Romney wants to extend the tax cuts for everyone.
Romney has not explained how he would keep his plan from growing the nation's deficit.

Median household income is about 50k

...and less.



Aparently that Romney comment "ABBA is too angry" comment was concocted as well. Thank god for that.

That's upper middle class alright.

 

[nontheist]

Didn't you just start a thread making fun of his religion? Anyway I am under the impression that middle class is 50-250k household income. While it's a large gap that's what it is. Listen Obama can talk all day about raising the taxes on rich people while being bought up by lobbyist, do you think he cares about you? How can a guy tell you he is anti-corp and appoint czar positions to CEO's that made record profits while paying goose eggs in taxes?

 

[ink the world]

Cares about me?

Probably not.
But he won't tell my wife what to do with her uterus, won't raise my taxes to fund tax breaks for the rich, won't needlessly invade a country, won't throw me in prison for being a MMJ caregiver, doesn't support a death penalty for drug trafficking, and he doesn't believe in magic underwear or that black people are inherently evil.

And.....
He's intelligent enough and lives in reality enough to know that 3% of the country is NOT THE MIDDLE CLASS!!

See that's the liberal shit that gets annoying, sure Romney is anti-abortion most religious people are hell most American's are for that matter. Romney or any other republican can't reverse rove v wade it just how they feel. You lost all credibility for making fun of his religion, all religions are weird magic underwear is just as believable as an invisible man, talking snakes and bushes. Last I checked Mormons were annoying at worst.

So basically, you aren't voting for Mittens. Oh come on, those reasons aren't legit enough! He hates hispanics too!

so when your dad is driving you to install a "greese" trap and he gets pulled over and ticketed for speeding, should the cop hand you a speeding ticket as well?

 

[abandonconflict]

but black people are inherently evil.

The Lamanites were wild, ferocious, plundering, robbing, and murdering people.

God felt the need to change their skin color to make them not enticing to the Nephites as if their immoral acts were not sufficient enough to deter the Nephites into wanting to become like
them.

Yes bucky if I assisted him in anyway I should be help accountable also.

It's not Liberal shit, its moderate shit. Just because I'm left of you doesn't make me a liberal or whatever idiotic right wing tag you choose to place on me. Being left of you is pretty damn easy.


BTW I mock all religions, I just find the Mormon superstition to be the most humorous.

My religious views don't change the facts I stated. Do you support:
1. Abolishment of state MMJ rights ?
2. A death penalty for drug traffickers?
3. Tax hikes on 97% of the country to fund cuts for the top 3%?

1. Absolutely not or I wouldn't be here but I do think it will be no different than Obama.
2. I am against the death penalty across the board but that's a state decision not a federal. Second I have been in countries that made my sign my understanding of that same law. Third I don't condone harder drugs than MJ, and if it's not local a good chance someone got hurt making it.
3. First of all rich pay 75% of the taxes you can't ignore that number I don't care what you say or how anyone tries to phrase it, it's fact. You don't have to be rich to see it.

Dammit bucky quit compounding stupid questions, you cannot kill someone with stupidity.
