The UAW "average" wage is $65 to $75 an hour, including benefits, depending on your source. Thats about 115-120K a year. UAW and Republicans consider this group to be part of the middle class. They too are struggling with the concept. The problem is, "simple math" goes right over their head.

The "average" wage, is the "average" wage, whatever it may be, determined from elementary mathematics. I think you have the problem understanding what the "average" is.
You made the connection between "average wage" and middle class, not me or anyone else
$65-$75 / hr is actually like $130-$150 / yr. It's simple math, your calculations, as usual, are incorrect.

Middle is not average. There is a mathematical term for middle, it's called the median. I learned that in 7th grade, although I flunked 8th. It appears you flunked 3rd.
I can see why you're divorced. If I was married to you, the only way I would keep you around is if you had a tight A-hole. Squeeeeelllllll.
