Lower bound, middle, upward bound, I don't give a shit what fucking name they gave it. It's still worthless bullshit.

There is NO FUCKING WAY that a household making that income would have any lifestyle traditionally associated with "middle class".

I don't know if you're smoking pot or a Republican apologist trying to make the economy sound better than it is, but using their qualifier as somehow defending the obvious nonsense this dataset is, is absurd.
