The question of who comprises the middle class really is an important issue as Health Care reform, taxes, hospitals rejecting Medicare patients and other costs begin to come into focus.

As Ron noted, the math confuses him, and pretty much everyone else, myself included. There is no strict methodology to come to a conclusion. A "range" of incomes is the only way. What comprises the range is subject to interpretation.

I'd say this about that. If you, as a single individual, are making $20 an hour or better, your doing OK compared to "most" folks in these United States.
