So I still didn't see where you were getting the $450k number and since you didn't want to tell me where you got it, I did a little googling. Turns out that $450k number is what OBAMA agreed it was with congress in January 2013(and it was for married filing jointly) That's the threshold. You made $1 more and you're considered rich. So if you want to blame someone, blame YOUR president, Obama.

Obama called 450k middle class? Give me a link for that. It's one thing agreeing to a threshold in a negotiation, it's another to CALL THEM middle class directly
I already gave you how 'I' and those who wrote the article got the number - it's directly from the GOP and it's very very obvious if you actually read and apply some logic.

That's the easy to read version.
If you want to actual bill, enjoy. https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-112publ240/html/PLAW-112publ240.htm
Again, where did Obama say that 450k is middle class? He agreed to the extension for the middle class by including that threshold because that's what Republicans consider middle class. I am very aware of what transcribed during that debate, so thanks for your links but they are redundant.
Obama signs a bill saying $450K is middle class and you want more proof. *sigh*
Yes, Obama signed a bill as part of a compromise to continue middle class tax cuts, he never referred 450k as middle class.
Don't be disingenuous.
exactly right. you were completely disingenuous when you wrote the title to the thread.
