Bull. $65k is good money in most of the US. Not California with excess

$65k is being poor. Means you are out of touch with reality and also
that
the government, under both Dem's and Repub's, have inflated the dollar
that much in about 30 years. 1980, $23k was a midlevel degreed
engineers
salary. You could buy a nice home in a nice neighborhood on that salary.

I see your problem. If you look at the blue states, (in the top chart)
$65,000 is below average but if you look at the red states it is above
average.
That just proves that it is the democrats who are the rich elitists.
No wonder your arguments don't make sense to most of the country.


?? California is a red state? Median income was $57K and change. Perhaps it
means (assuming you're getting your numbers from an actual place in the
physical universe) that democrats are better educated and make more money.
If that's your definition of elitist, I'm guilty.
