And God forbid we should hit upper-middle-class voters! Those people who whine that $300+K isn’t much when you have 2 kids in private schools and a boat to maintain, and a $500K mortgage on your million-and-a-half-dollar home. Oh make me weep.

Anybody who makes $300+K a year and thinks they aren’t rich needs to make some friends outside of their little bubble of fellow 3%-ers. They should spend some quality time talking with the people who clean their home, manicure their lawn, and bag their groceries.

By the way, in exactly which suburbs in which swing states is $300K not enough to be rich on? I thought it was only in California and New York that you were allowed to be “middle class” on a top-3% income?

The whining of the upper class in America really annoys me. This is what comes of, among other things, housing patterns that completely separate people by social class. People at the top have NO CLUE what it’s like for those in the classes beneath them. I speak, mind you, as one at the top, but at least I have a clue.
