[quote=Anonymous]This again? I think the reason people say they are middle class when they make $200k is that in DC that affords a decidedly unpretentious lifestyle: public school, a decent but likely unremarkable home, limited vacations, some college savings but certainly not paid off, etc. Inevitably someone posts that those things aren't middle class and someone's sense of normalcy is warped. The real question should be why those things aren't middle class: after all is it so absurd to want decent education, good health benefits and a reasonably secure retirement? These aren't grandiose wants After all. In Europe the middle class has all that - why can't we have it here? And that is what's fucked imho. [/quote]
