[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our area the rich is 600 k, nationally it's around 387k. Wtf is this 250k bs.

To be considered part of the 1 percent in this area, it takes a household income far above the national average of $387,000. The gateway for the region is $527,000. In the District, the top 1 percent of households bring in at least $617,000; in Montgomery County, more than $606,000; and in Fairfax County, $532,000, according to an analysis of census statistics by The Washington Post and Sentier Research, a firm that specializes in income data.

+1, obama needs to stop calling those above 250k rich it's very ignorant and short sighted. [/quote]

It is not short-sighted and ignorant at all, but rather the complete opposite.
You don't have to be in the top 1% to be wealthy. Above $250K is rich anywhere. You strivers need to develop some perspective. (we have a HHI of about 120K and I don't think I'd complain if the "wealthy tax" threshold was lowered to where we are. People gotta stop being so damn greedy.)[/quote]
