the middle class is dying
 

and i ain't the first to say this, but its gotten blatantly pathetic. if you're poor, the government will pay for everything you need, and if you're rich, you already have all you need.

so the working middle class suffers since it makes to much to get assistance from the government but still doesnt make enough to support itself.

:2 cents: time for a revoltution eh?

I don't know how people survive on a regular income with the way the cost of living is.

true, poor middle class...........hmmm, I might be counted as middle class :1orglaugh

what amount is a regular income to you?

it's exactly what you said ... "survive"

I think middle class is considered $75K to $200K these days.

are you kidding?

I think its much much less then that

:2 cents:

The middle class are screwed in this type of economy. They get hit hard with taxes, they don't qualify for any assitance and the cost of decent housing and the basics like food just keep skyrocketing.

Get on icq foo :Graucho

top level employees getting paid 200k......i can think very very few from the whole adult industry.

well there are the upper middle class and the lower middle class. The upper middle class runs in that range. The lower middle class runs $37,500 to $75,000.

Keeeerist!!!!!!!!! I guess that makes me welfare material.......:(

way off.. think $30k for a family

viva le america

welcome to captailism this is NOTHING new

Exactly, 30-35K and thats pushing it.

People making 40-50 + can at least make ends meet...well almost.
Anything below that and its a fucking struggle to pay the bills and have everything you need.
Nevermind trying to save a few bucks for a rainy day

:2 cents:

Its a broke ass Perpetual circle jerk :(

200k and I think many will agree with your Keeeeerist :1orglaugh

Tax cuts slanted for the rich.

Eliminating double taxation of dividends (mostly helps poeple who don't have to work for a living).

Anyone with debt (mostly middle class) is going to be hit by the inflation caused by dollar devaluation/war.....

I'm not even gonna include social security problems....

Or all the pork and growing tax loopholes created for specific companies....


Dump your debt if you have any. :2 cents:

This is the main reason I'm moving to Kentucky it's a becautiful place but it's also a lot cheaper to live there you have to pay 1500 minimum for a3 bedroom apartment up here in the boston area and only 850 for a mortgage on a house in Kentucky...

Dude Federal HHS Poverty Level goes to $31,570. So how could middle class be at $30K?

:1orglaugh

I think middle classi s like 27-65 k $ or something like that

The range is much larger than that, and 27k a year isn't even 100 bucks a day...

One of the biggest problem that the people in the US face, is that they are always buying so much shit that they dont need.

They sit in front of the TV and watch for hours on in, Then they realize that it is a MUST to have that big screen tv that they can not afford, or that they MUST have the designer clothes that some movie star was wearing. BUt they can not afford to get their car fixed, or go to school, or put their kid through school.

Ok ... well here in canada I know for a fact that when you make over 65k a year (cnd) you get taxed way more then middle class

amen brother

true...but i don't think tax brackets are an absolute determination of class...65k is still WAY middle class :2 cents:

so much for capitalism:(
