Fine, Southack, you win. You can celebrate the fact that entire nature of the middle class is changing, that folks who used to make decent incomes over $60K a year now face jobs earning half that, but, hey, they're still middle class. By their fingernails.
Enjoy your victory lap. And when the data comes out next year showing what's happened over the last two years to middle-class earners, I'm sure you'll be here, telling us how it's all a good thing.
And tell us all how we just want to bash Bush with our criticisms - but I'm sure if Bush loses next year because he didn't listen to his base, you'll be back to blame his defeat on us.
You're reprehensible.
No, I'm not reprehensible. I simply pointed out that **your** claim was baseless, and now you've gotten all upset that you couldn't find any data to back up your wild-eyed claim that the American middle class had shrunk in physical size.In fact, average salaries have gone **UP** in the last five years.
Just don't let such facts get in your way, right?! That might make me "reprehensible" for pointing them out to you, I guess...
