Sad when people think that less than $100k is near poverty. Maybe they

the
local mechanic.

spare me. the attiude of the wealthy towards the middle class was
just demonstrated by the mine owner who killed 25 miners.

the middle class is expendable.

You seem confused about who the middle class are. There are NO middle
class miners if you use JP's criteria. The miner's doctor might not
even be middle class.


Well... interesting. What would you call someone who makes between, say $50K
and $80K per year? Poor or rich?

JP calls them working class.


I don't think it matters what they're called.... working class seems
appropriate. Are they in the leisure class?
