No matter how you define it I think it would be hard to call the top 5% middle class random thoughts Send a noteboard - 14/04/2011 05:03:33 PM
The term middle class implies something closer to the 50% mark than to the 95% mark. Top 5% is probably somewhere around $150k and up. it is arguable whether or not $150K qualifies as rich but I really don't think it qualifies as middle class.

Cutting the military isn't enough Roland00 - 16/04/2011 04:27:11 AM 483 Views
Defense is 60% of the discretionary budget as well, so it's more like 26% overall. Just sayin'. *NM* Ghavrel - 16/04/2011 04:53:30 AM 243 Views
