[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. [b]People gotta stop being so damn greedy[/b].)[/quote]

Its not about greed.  Its about what our family has worked hard to make and yes WE deserve it.  Speak for yourself and please....donate some of your income to the government for me.  Thats fine...you can call me greedy  :twisted:[/quote]

But do you deserve to live in a great country which provides you with opportunity, security, and freedom?  Maybe not.  [/quote]
