A Modest Salary

More government double-speak. This little tidbit is from Neal Boortz. If you don't routinely visit his site you should. You can check out his daily news at Neal Boortz

Let's see now ... help me out here ... how much money would you have to make for Obama to raise your taxes? That would be $200,000 a year. Obama proposes raising taxes on individuals who make over $250,000 a year, the republicans oppose it, and the Democrats start screaming about tax breaks for "millionaires and billionaires."

Well ... if $200,000 a year makes you rich, as Obama says, then what would say about someone who makes about $172,000? Well, you'll be surprised to know that Barack Obama thinks that $172,000 a year is a "relatively modest" income. Now bear in mind that the average household income in this country is around $55,000 a year ... and Obama thinks that over three times the average is "relatively modest."

What have we learned here? We've learned that this incompetent hack has no idea how real Americans live and what they make. Only a moron could go from "relatively modest" to "wealthy" with just $28,000 in income.
