LOL!!  That's a great point, I hadn't read those statistics.  I guess it's 'cause the Lib's have made a smoke and mirror's campaign suggesting that they fight for the "working man", and since the vast majority of the population makes less then 70K per year, that's who the Dem's try to appeal to.  It makes them look good I suppose to bash people like me, who put themselves through school, worked hard, and now has a job well above the national average.  It's a snow job.  I've always thought that the major distinction between Dem's and Repubs is that Repubs believe it's the governments job to create and sustain a country where you can achieve happiness, while the Dem's of today believe its the governments job to try and provide it.  If you work towards achieving your own happiness, I think you often fall into a higher tax bracket because of your ambition and work ethic.  Good question, thanks!

The reason that you pay so much in taxes is that Congress spends your money like drunken sailors. For the past ten years, it has been drunken Republican sailors. Before that it was drunken Democratic sailors. \n\nIt doesn't matter which party is in power, they all spend their time converting your tax dollars into their campaign contributions and votes. That's what your taxes buy; political careers.

Actually the greatest percentage of Wealth in Congress is in the hands of Democrats.  There is a significantly higher percentage of Democat millionaires than Republicans.  Actually the average Republican is a small business owner, a family with 2 children, certain conservative spiritual persons, and middle aged men. Business gives donations equally to Democrats and Republicans and are not as people believe Republican.

It depends on the area of the country.  For instance, in the SF Bay Area, a professional couple with advanced degrees can make $100K each ($200K) a year, and still be classified as upper middle class.  In all other areas of the country, you would be classified as upper class.  (you can't get a decent house for under $800K)\n\nTo answer your question - it depends.  If you make $100K a year, you are doing better than most people around you.  Of course, cops and firefighters make that much in the Silicon Valley (and they are supposed "low paid" civil servants)
