Good, then more can send their newfound wealth to everyone else!!! /s
Trump is the Commie Killing President!
EEEEEEvil orange man. :-)
Uh, per the lame stream-——More than 300 million homes still can’t rise to middle class status under evil Trump.
Democrats won’t like this. Poor people aren’t supposed to improve their lives, they are supposed to become happier about being poor.
Excellent.
Trump is helping the economy, which is good for everyone.
Remember....the Dems have always said it's about the economy.
Now it's changed....free GOVERNMENT health care....free college....no more fossil fuels....
Where are they going.
I remember, when the President was running, knit picking every time the President opened his mouth about driving the economy....and that if he was elected, the Stock Market would go through the floor.
Middle class as defined (in 2019) as people earning from between $40,500 and $122,000 per year. Your mileage may vary. I know in Southern Connecticut, $100k a year is about the bottom range required for middle class. In northern Alabama, you will live like a king on $100K.
“Your mileage may vary.”
And that’s the point the libs/socialists don’t want anyone to understand. They arbitrarily establish a number that can’t be consistent and then try to make it seem like no one is reaching it. This way they can scream about their theories on the distribution of wealth.
But they are purposely missing a fe very important things: $50K is at the bottom of the middle class. So does that make the inflation rise to keep them at the lower class so maybe $60K would be better to cover their lies as they are the ones creating that inflation? And with that, what happened to the ones that grew above the middle class numbers? Why aren’t they being recognized?
I don’t blame Jim Hoft at his blog, I blame the major news outlets for their failures because it is done dishonestly. Holt is a blog and lying agencies like the NY Times, Boston Globe, San Jose Mercury News, the LA Times, the Seattle Times, The Chicago Trib......you can fill in your local liar, that are trying to hide these fact need to be recognized for what they are and the GOP needs to tell people everywhere they go. But they lack the cajones to do it.

This is good news, of course. But $50K is hardly “Middle class” in the 21st century. It’s working class at best, and lower working class at that.
sign of a growing middle class.
The facts do not support that. They are better than that. Both the Lower Class and the Middle Class have lost significant numbers. The uppper clas is growing so fast. More people are leaving the Middle Class for the Upper Class than are leaving the Lower Class for the Middle Class.
Nope!
Not Trump!
This is a residual effect from Obama’s great economic policies.
