BOSTON (AP) - Mitt Romney is promising to reduce taxes on middle-income Americans.

But how does he define "middle-income"? The Republican presidential nominee defined it Friday as income of $200,000 to $250,000 a year and less.

The definition of "middle income" or the "middle class" is politically charged as Romney and President Barack Obama fight to

i would like to be considered Mitt Romney's middle class, please

and i'm actually like...upper middle class income, honestly, or slightly above middle class? idk but i'm nowhere near 200k. i don't think i could fathom making that amount.

Right?! I think "middle income" is actually $50,000 for a family, so this is really out of touch. I would google that number, but my wireless internet enjoys to randomly stop working often.

I was thinking $80k-$100k might be the top? IDK

I feel like it depends on how many people you have in your family... 80k for a couple vs. 80k for a family with five kids... that 80k doesn't stretch very far. I'd put the top of the middle class somewhere around 125k, maybe.

Neomedieval. That's a real word.

Taxed to death and canon fodder, didn't we do this already? In like, 1215??
