Danto, it is more than 4x what the average family survives on. I think it’s rich.

Just came across this post — good job breaking down the debate with numbers.

In my view $250K a year definitely makes your wealthy – it’s not a matter of opinion, it’s maths. It puts you into the elite percentage of earners. It my not feel like it when chatting with the other millionaires at the squash club but it’s true.

Good point. But most ways you cut it $250k income is a lot of money. I acknowledge that even if I ever make that much I’ll consider myself rich. It’s certainly not middle class.

The post article and other charts don’t do much for me. They group $160-$227K but the next group is $227K to $603K. Wow, that’s quite the spread. For the second group, Obama is an average ‘no change’ but I’m sure the high end goes up quite a bit, and the lower end saves some. I’d like to see a graph where the numbers in between are shown more clearly.

Here’s a new article that ER abuse is occurring mostly from people who have insurance. Problem is the inability of people to get to see a primary care physician.

Great huh?
