The rich consists of anyone who is wealthier than you. And when you're dirt poor, that's everybody. Add a dash of envy, and you could have a riot on your hands.

They did a survey a while back and found that Americans consider "the rich" to be anyone making $10,000 per year more than they do.

We've got a large hole to dig ourselves out of.

I tend to think of the rich as those like the Kennedys who inherit their wealth and never have to work, the middle class are all those who depend on a pay check they worked for, the poor class as those who like the rich never have to work but depend on taxdollars instead of inherited wealth.
