The Obama Administration has no class.

At the roll-out event in Philadelphia last week , they didn’t take questions from the audience.

Their agenda is green jobs and doling out the funds in their greasy little hands, not asking the serfs how best they could be served.

This is the first time I have ever seen a specific range
denoting the term middle class which was 30K to 100K. maybe this is why during the Presidential campaign everytime Biden or Obama talked about who was getting a tax decrease the numbers changed.

>> It’s an admirable goal; with rising costs, stagnant wages and job cuts, a Pew Research study found that 78% of self-described middle class Americans have trouble maintaining their current standard of living.

We care about you, Middle Class peons! We are saddened — saddened — that you’re having trouble maintaining your current standard of living.

Therefore, the committee will get to work right away defining for you a much lower standard of living that you will have little trouble maintaining! (*cough* for a year or so).

And, face it — who better to decide what your standard of living shall be than we socialist elites? After all, as Americans, we’re all equally endowed, but some of us are better endowed than most of you. Besides, less for you is more for us. War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.

You are dismissed. Return to your hovels now. Do not loiter on the streets.

Remember all the furor over McJobs? How all the jobs were the equivalent doing each others laundry? Now we’re supposed to get jobs blowing ground up newspaper into each others attics.

While middle class Americans are invited to submit questions and ideas through the task force's website, AStrongMiddleClass.gov and tickets for the Philadelphia meeting were distributed to labor and environmental groups, the task force did not accept questions from the audience.

Translation: Middle class people can STFU.

During the campaign, Obama repeated said the he was for the “middle class first” so what’s the problem here?

Although really I’ve never heard the term “middle class” referring to a specific income bracket until now.

...tickets for the Philadelphia meeting were distributed to labor and environmental groups...

Not only were the bosses nowhere near middle class, the audience is a special category and enjoys protected status as well. Organized Labor is a very small fraction of the entire labor force and is largely public employees (our so-called "public servants") and I don't know how an environmentalist could be middle-class because they all seem to have very low-paying social worker type jobs. It doesn't seem there was a normal "middle class" person in the entire hall.

There are so many places in the United States where 100K- 250K isn't upper middle class. There are places where 250K isn't rich. In New York or LA 250K for a family is nowhere near rich.
In fact 250K really isn't "rich" anywhere anymore. That's the issue, how to you define rich, middle-class, upper middle-class, etc.? It's very ambiguous.

I love the way they highlighted what each is making. I love that they pointed out that they would not take questions from the common man.

Most of all, I like the link at the end of the graph where they were talking about the incomes of the members. In parenthesis, it reads (See pictures of crime in Middle America).

It’s classic!
