Still not sure why I’m being attacked. I was just saying that it pisses me off that all the people already living off the system are getting a stimulus. Most of the OT prob doesn’t qualify either. Why are y’all attacking me? I’m making sure y’all get all the plastic, rubbed, diesel, etc y’all need. My wife is going to work and taking care of the covid patients the best she can.

FWIW. I'm not attacking you. I'm pointing out that you aren't, by definition, middle class when you make more than four times the median household income.

Most people identify the "classes" in some variation of the following:


Poor
Lower/Working Class
Middle Class
Upper Middle Class
Upper Class
High Wealth/Rich/Whatever


The Middle Class is typically defined as the 25% +/- band from the median household income, which is approximately $62,000.

Your family makes 4x the median HHI, meaning you're either Upper Middle Class or Upper Class...congrats.
