Im sorry but 100,000 dollars a year is at the very least UPPER middle class. I have NO problem with taxes on those making that much being raised a little bit.

The average HOUSEHOLD in the U.S. is bringing in 35-45 grand per year. Thats HOUSEHOLD not PERSON.

Clearly anyone making 200,000 or above is well off or rich and they can afford it.

I'm pursuing a masters in history. I still have years left before I graduate. Unless I decide to try to become a Professor some day I bet ill NEVER end up making 6 figures a year.

I would consider myself well off if I was.

My Dad was a Cop for 20 years and never came close to even approaching 6 figures a year. Yet we always had food on the table, my Christmas and birthday presents were always really nice, we had a pretty decent sized house, I got a car when I was 16 and both my parents each had fairly decent cars as well. Oh and we lived in a fairly decent area.

And I always kind of considered us to be upper middle class. Most my Dad was ever probably making was 50-60 grand a year.

Maybe I just have low standards, but 6 figures to me and money isnt an issue anymore in life, unless you are greedy.
