**"extremely rich" is the phrase you used to describe $63k /yr household income for a family of 4! LOL !**

i suggest you go and get a dictionary to review what extremely means. the extreme edge of the field. in some places, $63k is the extreme edge of the field. that's what i said.

**Obviously most families of 4 who earn a total of 63k do not live in those towns.**

that's why i never said "most" did. is it a comprehension issue or a spin issue here?

**Most live in places like northern NJ, metro Boston, L.A., Atlanta, Houston, and other major metropolitan areas with high costs of living.**

i never said they didn't... in fact, i also said that in some places $63k was around lower middle class - but you ignore that b/c it doesn't suit your agenda. you want to spin it so that it looks like i said "most" people who make $63k are extremely rich. NEVER SAID IT. NEVER IMPLIED IT.

**Skeeter do you think a total household income of 63k for a family of four is "extremely rich' in these major metro areas?**

asked and answered. in the same post where you got the extremely rich term from. i think i used the term "lower middle class." funny, you can quote what you think you can spin to suit your agenda, but you can't even remember what doesn't suit your agenda.

you act like you have a wicked case of paradigm paralysis.

victor, since you've taken up the mantra that "$63k isn't much," what do you think about folks making $25k? why transfer more burden onto them?

tanstaafl, right? you did take economics, right?
