Romney Believes “Middle-Income Americans” Make "$200,000 to $250,000 a Year"

[Dirty Mcdrawz]

Bro, you can real good in LA if make you 70K+.............

I agree which is why I'm confused by these statements about 200k not being upper middle class. 200k would put you in neighborhoods like larchmont or the baldwin hills.

he is right. And it should be a wake up call to yall. Most americans are too stupid or prideful to realize that they are broke. The standard of living for broke folks in the US is so high that being broke doesn't feel uncomfortable. And that is by design. You can still have the new iphone and be broke. And for most sheep in america thats all they need to be placated(material goods and access to credit). Meanwhile the rich are getting richer and hording all the wealth. Keep thinking your middle class with your 50k a year salary. lol.

Most americans have 0 dollars saved for retirement when they finish working their whole lives... These are people making 50 - 100k by the time their careers are over...Middle class means you still have to work for a living but when you retire you can at least live off your savings and maintain your lifestyle. That means you need to be putting away 15 - 20k a year in savings. Good luck doing that if you make under 200k and have a family. You guys are broke and don't even realize it until its too late.

Bro, I'm

I don't see anything wrong with what breh said.

Given your background, I'm sure you've seen the disparity first hand. And the onslaught of ignorance Americans have towards financial spending.

 

[homiedontplaydat]

Mannnnnn 250k down south you living like a king

Post is extremely similar to a bunch of other ones here down to the wording.
Anyways whatever.


Things are bad everywhere, I could go into detail but you'd need to narrow it down.

I think Americans are really careless with their money and have no idea how to make their money work for them. You see it everywhere, even seemingly intelligent people with money. I guess they take their careers and ability to earn for granted. It's also about priorities.

Everyone's priorities are different. As a twenty some odd year young stunna I care more about my next pint than meal. That doesn't work for a family obviously. I'm focused on my savings and property. They're focused on finishing school, daycare, feeding themselves. That said every single person faces different challenge and financial realities.

There isn't a middle class in the USA and there hasn't been one since I've been alive as far as I know. That's the North East though.

If you can get a job paying anywhere near 200k, you'll be very well-off in most places in the country outside of NY and LA. Even if you had to take somewhat of a paycut to move, you'd still be better off than you would be paying NY's ridiculous housing prices.

don't get it twisted. if you're making 200k in nyc, you're doing pretty well. even in Manhattan the median income is around 64k and the mean around 120k, and all the other boroughs are considerably lower

It's so funny how the people who "represent" America and "speak" for Americans on TV and Radio, have no fukking clue how the majority of Americans actually live.

Exactly bro

 

[The War Report]

He's a billionaire. It makes sense that his view of money is a little skewed.

No he's not.


Romney can't even answer simple ass questions.

 

[zerozero]

in any case national economic policy is for the whole nation, not just manhattan renters, so you shouldn't let that skew your perspective

Well we should probably judge reality based on the most difficult of standards not the least. What should a playboy like yourself earn in Mumbai?
Although you're probably some former raj with hundreds of thousands in equities a year.

alas, I'm not. but here's the thing, you can't draw a line from the lowest earners to the top earners and then decide the middle class is halfway in between. you have to look at the median. median family income is around 50k. above 50k the numbers are also affected by the fact that we're looking at double earners.. in 100k family incomes, the average isn't that one person is making 100k, it's 100k between 2.12 earners!

so when you want to decide tax breaks and determine that the middle class should have their tax cuts continued, you can't just look at what a person in expensive parts of CA 'feels' about their social status. everyone is lower class compared to mark zuckerberg. you have to look at the actual numbers they're drawing compared to other people. washington dc is supposed to represent all of america.

 

[CrimsonTider]

Thats reality. Try to buy a house in LA County with 100k. Watch where u live.

Its so demonic, friends.

What the hell are you doing here? You might want to rethink this statement
