Money doesnt define class in itself. There is at least is no clear figure which makes a person middle class.

$120,000 is the latest, but Obama says he has remembered to say the original number $250,000 better and more often, so everyone should listen to him, instead of those campaigning for him.

:smile: There is no set amount.:smile: If you have to work most of the week to pay your bills then you are lower class.:smile:

maybe there is a monetary definition in the US, but there isnt one here.

Are people really referred to as 'lower' class over there? We would say 'working' class in the UK.

Here i think class is more defined by ones background, and education.

You can thank Joe Biden for those remarks and some other guy that's campaigning for Obama for the 120,000 remark.

i was just wondering cause Sen Obama said he wont raise taxes for the middle class and those are the 4 diff numbers ive heard that people will start getting taxed.
Oh ya will our taxes go up when he rolls back President Bushes tax cuts?

In 2010, yes, most likely.

There's no question our taxes are going up, its just a matter of how much.

Obama said he would let the Bush tax cuts expire in 2010.

Yes, and I think he said they would go back to the Clinton years.

Letting the cuts expire does not automatically mean that everybody's going to be paying more.
