1. The stratification I gave you is income based for "upper" and
"middle" middle, it may not be for "lower (middle)" as that's
apparently applied to a rural grouping.
middle middle? hahahahaha

Again, when you include 1800 as middle income and then jump to say 100,000
and STILL say "middle" it's fucking meaningless. Let's say the LOWEST you
can earn is ONE dollar. 1800 is said to be 'middle income'? and that is
1800 times a very poor person indeed. Now, someone who earns 100,000 times
more than the very poor person is STILL in the middle class? Get off the
pot! If someone can live comfortably at 30,000, then someone earning
600,000 can do whatever they want. That's not middle class. That's
decidedly NOT middle class. If it is, then it renders the connotations
meaningless. Might as well call it gruntleness.
or someone from the UK or France or, well, one of the old countries;
or one type of Marxist
Oh well, at least your funny!
