Charles Schumer at the Dem Convention pointed out:
"Under this plan, under this Ryan budget, Mitt Romney's own taxes would drop to almost zero," Schumer said. "But for the middle class, it's a rip-off. Families with children whose household income is less than $200,000 would see their taxes go up $2,000, on average.
Seems like Schumer defines middle class at household of $200K or less. How is that any different from Romney? BTW, in NYC $200K or $250K is really not that much. It is a good upper middle class income but not rich.
Um, Romney defined middle-class income at above $200K. That's the exact opposite of below $200K.
