“Obama replied, You know, I think the definitions are always a little bit rough and said if youre making $100,000 a year or less, then youre pretty solidly middle class
On the other hand, if youre making more than $100,000 and certainly if youre making more than $200,000 or $250,000, youre doing pretty well.
Brilliant. Raise taxes on small business owners and entrepreneurs.
Marxist idiot.

Agreed. I guess he's just following his church's guidelines to Disavow the Pursuit of Middleclassness.

There’s a bell curve of incomes (and incomes don’t necessarily correlate with wealth, but that’s WAY over bambi’s head), and there’s a point on the leftward slope and one on the rightward slope, between which could be called the “middle”.
This middle changes as the curve moves, and the curve moves generally rightward, where everyone is making more money.
If you keep the guide lines in the same place, it looks like the gap between the rich and poor is getting bigger, when it really hasn’t changed, the income curve just moved.
Bambi isn’t interested in gov’t revenue, he’s interested in using the tax system for “fairness” - ie, punishing those that succeed.
Yes, he’s a Marxist.
