Ah, John McCain would be correct in how he defined "middle class." (A social class of business and professional people, also known as the Bourgeoisie). White collar workers. The folks who aren't the inherited or uber rich. Millionaires ARE the middle class and those aspiring to be there.

For some reason folks seem to have it stuck in their heads that middle class is synonomous with working class. Just ain't so!

Why do people keep repeating this? Every independent fact-checker agrees
that Obama's plan would reduce taxes for individuals making under
$200,000 ($250,000 for families). Unless they use McCain's definition of
'middle class' being $5 million. I'm still not voting for Obama, and I
don't make enough to pay taxes, so I don't personally care. But I annoys
me that McCain and his cohorts think that repeating a lie often enough
will make it true.
