In the poorer half of the states, yeah.  Goes all the way down to 25k.  Mississippi, lol.

(wewt, I'm officially rich, just checked my states upper middle class boundary - odd...I don't feel rich.)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Quote:I also noticed that even Tucker fuckin' Carlson was criticizing Jeff Bezos last week for being a greedy billionaire.

Let's not forget that Carson's hero, Der Orange Turdfuhrer hates Bezos and Amazon.  You can bet your ass that Carson wouldn't criticize the fucking Koch Brothers.

Just another FOX FUK earning his keep from the moron in the white hourse.

I live in NYC. $25k/year might get you a cozy cardboard box.

We couldn't get by with 32,000 in our household, not and expect to own a house and at least a car, which pretty much defines Middle Class.

We've worked out that...despite the fact that we own everything we have, no debts....we can't go below 50k.  Not without public assistance, obvs.
