[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bowser tells city council we don't need tax hikes and that it shouldn't make tax policy with zero public input. I think we might miss Bowser when she's gone.

Couples who make more than $250,000 are rich?[/quote]

Uh, yes?[/quote]

A married couple who are both teachers in DCPS, and who have two kids, are rich?[/quote]

If you think $250k+ household income isn't doing pretty well, I don't know what to tell you.[/quote]

Tell me you're 21 years old, without telling me you're 21 years old. [/quote]

Do you have any idea the average/media income in the District of Columbia?

Hint: well below $250k.

Average/mean income is stupid when you have such a gigantic percentage of the population that doesn’t work at all.

Median income for the district of Columbia is — you ready? $109k/ yr !!! Multiply that by two and you get 218,000.  Which means that two people living together in an apartment making 250,000 or slightly above the median are not “rich.”   They’re middle class BY DEFINITION.  For DC. Which is a different and much more expensive city than Minot ND and Greenville SC

Errr... The mean household income is $109k. You don't multiply that by two to get the household income. [/quote]

109k is the median, not the mean.

The person from Fargo upthread said a “couple” — aka, two people — earning 250k a year is “rich.”  in DC, that’s the median. 109x2 =218.   218~= 250.  Median, median, normal, not an outlier household, median[/quote]

The median household income in the District of Columbia is $109k. Two people is a household unless they live in separate homes. So, if you have a two member household earning $250k, you are well above the median, i.e., rich.[/quote]
