At it again, eh?

Yes.

Can you explain to me how you can define the "middle class" as containing everyone but those who don't pay taxes (under 30m per annum) and .1% of the taxpaying population (excess of 200m per annum)?

Your .1% of the taxpaying population (excess of 200m per annum) should be 2%.

Also those under 30m per annum DO pay taxes (income, Social Security, Medicare, excise), though many get a rebate via the EIT (a form of welfare).

The numbers I've seen are .1% are at 200m plus. Who cares what the people making under 30,000 are paying in Social Security taxes, that's their trust fund for retirment right? In theory they'll get all that and more back right? It shouldn't really count as a tax then right?

At any rate, you still have yet to explain how 95%+ of the population can be the "middle class"

Oh wait, I know, you're full of crap...

Democrats should be rooting against Gray Davis.

Why? Because whoever wins this election will get blamed for bankrupting California. All the debt and various problems have been delayed and delayed so much that the day of reckoning won't come until well into the NEXT term.
