        I don’t need my own you just proved my point, 100k is not middle class.

        The report, which crunched the numbers for all 50 states, is based on Pew Research’s definition of middle class: two-thirds to double the median household income.

        i believe your source even makes note that the American “middle class” is considered working class just about everywhere else.

          And in which state is 100k more than double the median income? Did you actually look at the article, or did you hit the second paragraph and assume?

            That’s not how most of the world defines middle class because it’s a useless stat that does not reflect societal issues via economics.

            I looked at the article.

            ‘Middle class’ goes beyond income

            For many people, being “middle class” goes beyond a certain income level, says Brad Klontz, a certified financial planner and expert in financial psychology and behavioral finance.

            Did you?

                The us tax structure doesn’t involve classes. There is no irs definition of middle class because that simply isn’t what they do.
