Last Friday, Vice President Joe Biden and seven White House cabinet members traveled to Philadelphia to kick off the inaugural gathering of President Obama's Middle Class Task Force. The task force will convene monthly in cities across the country to confront the problems faced by average Americans. It's an admirable goal; with rising costs, stagnant wages and job cuts, a Pew Research study found that 78% of self-described middle class Americans have trouble maintaining their current standard of living.
Still, the middle class may have a better shot at making ends meet than at influencing the Middle Class Task Force. That's because no member of the Middle Class Task Force is actually middle class

Obama's 6th week in office
Obama's Middle-Class Task Force Has No Middle Class. Every member of the President's task force - from Biden ($227,000) to Council of Economic Advisors chair Christina Romer ($172,000) to energy secretary Steven Chu ($191,000) - makes well over $150,000, putting them in the top 5% of wage earners.

Except for the barking dog, nobody was home at Joseph Basile’s dirty-white, single-story home in the 3500 block of John Street in Steger on Wednesday afternoon.
Basile was dead, and his dog’s leash was in police custody, at the center of a nightmarish homicide probe.
Steger police say members of 90-year-old Basile’s family bound him in duct tape, then lashed him to a recliner with the leash.
