At it again, eh?

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)?

I am DYING to hear this!

Yes.

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).
