[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I said it there, I'll say it here.

Are you the elderly lady moron who keeps harassing people on DCUM because you think we look down on you for your 100k salary?  GTFO!

It was HUD that concluded that low 100k in an area of SF was "lower income." HUD. Why don't you call their branch in SF and complain? Send some links and charts. [/quote]
No, I'm not elderly, and, in all modesty, certainly not a moron! It's just that I've seen a number of threads on this topic by people who seem frustrated. Today, for example, was someone (not me) who said plenty of people with grad degrees only earn around $60k, and people jumped on her (or him). I think it's true - lots of teachers with masters earn that, or less.

My purpose in bringing this topic up is that people who are truly average income (I think it's around $55k, household) get frustrated when they hear people say that $300k is middle class, and I believe that frustration showed up on Election Day. I think it's a good start for those of us who are affluent (I have a net worth in the 7 figures) realize that we are indeed above average, financially speaking, and show more understanding for the average family getting by on $75,000 in the suburbs of big cities or $50,000 in rural areas.

But I'm looking for polite debate. No need for GTFO stuff. (Or I'll just stop engaging.)[/quote]

YOU are the "person" who feels slighted that people here have accused you of being (God forbid), lower class, middle class, poor.  You just can't stand that some of us DC yuppies think of your 100k salary as "low."  And then you go on a rant about how you support Trump because all the rich liberals think of you as low class.  You, old lady, are cray.[/quote]
