An interesting exchange between a reporter and Elizabeth Warren on how to define the “Middle Class” by income level. The reporter keeps pressing Warren for the high and low income boundaries, but Warren refuses to give her numbers saying that it’s a lot of different factors or something (via Buzzfeed)

So they can’t define ‘fair share’ and now ‘Middle Class’. But the ‘Middle Class’ is who they say they stand for, so if they can’t define who it is then how do they know who they are standing for?

Maybe if she smokes her peace pipe it will bring clarity to her mind and she can better define it then.

Warren's middle class are people who didn't start a business they built themselves and didn't collect a paycheck they had to show up for.

The Lefts "great swelling words" have beguild America, there is no substance to what they say, only a relentless march to join Greece, break the U.S.A. and start over. I just realised they want to, and must , break the middle class( the strengh of America).

The simple fact of the matter is that, anymore, the average person just doesn't care. They don't watch the news, don't read any news on the internet and just basically live their lives oblivious to what happens around them. Even if Warren had defined her version of the middle class, the average person would never hear it because they just don't care. It's always the Republicans fault. It's sad that the blind people think that everything will just be okay, as long as they have a job and can pay their mortgage. My neighbor is like that, it is like he lives in a vacuum. He couldn't tell you what happened in the world today, but he could tell you what the funniest video was on Ridiculousness. He's middle class and doesn't have a clue as to what's about to happen to him.

Sad but so true and even when you try to tell them they don't want to hear it.

I wish this ran a tad longer, cuz this Mz. Warren is a bit smoken' something.

Whaaaat does she mean," it depends who you are working for"'. The reported needed to clarify...if I work for a private independent or republican entrepreneur making $300,000, I am in the higher income, BUT..I work for the gov, and make $2 mil I might be middle income. And she was FREELY elected by

It sounds like Warren is applying a qualitative test. A teacher in a sabbatical year has low income but still passes the qualitative test. At the end of the video she says "it's a question of who you are working for". If she means 'who the middle class person is working for' then that is also a qualitative test.

I wonder if she thinks a high income person may not be in the middle class because he/she fails some qualitative test. For example, would the Beverly Hillbillies fail her test?

It seems to me like she is employing the old, racist, wink-and-a nod, "they are not our sort of people" test. Is it the stereotypical ivy league, WASPish exclusiion of jews and people of color that we see on Mad Men?

She would say "Well, no, no. It's complicated. There isn't just a single test."

The reporter should have asked an easier question, something closer within the sphere of her knowledge. For instance, asking her to define Marxism would be a good start. As a followup, he could inquire which fake Indian tribe best fits the Marxist philosophy. As a closer, the report could pose the following hypothetical: If you could have dinner with 3 people, who besides Karl Marx would you invite?

Maybe Native American society lacks the concept of classes? It must be so hard for her to relate to modern America. It's not her fault; everyone should cut her some slack.

Facts and figures are anathema to a liberal/progressive (totally unrecognizable and not understood) and she perfectly exemplifies the fact.

This is really "Scary" to watch because MA has just voted in one very "Sick" woman and I mean "Sick". She and many other politicians will look right into the camera and "Lie" to the American people and that goes for Democrats and Republicans. This country is in very bad shape and where all riding on a Roller Coaster that is headed straight for a brick wall.

By what standard does she define "middle class"? By what moral code does she define people as a "class", rather than as individuals? By what right does she take varying amounts of money from individuals?

These are some of the important questions to ask.

Once they take it all, we will be classless. She could not care less about any class. She is focused on the money ONLY. "So a gal goes back to school to get an education and makes 11K we will continue to kick the snot out of her too!"

Any means to their end are justified.

"What's yours is mine," THAT is how socialists like Warren see the world. There will be no end to either their demands or to their attempts to get rid of the one document that safeguards and guarantees our rights: The Constitution. With both the Constitution AND the idea of personal property out of the way, there are no limits to what scum like this will do to this nation. Count on it.

Democrats don't stand for the middle class and never did. if you are in the middle class and believe they do I have bridge to sell you.

Democrats stand for only what is exploitable at the moment so they can get re-elected and go on their power trips to social engineer. It feeds their narcissism and ego quite nicely.

That's what happens when faced with reality. Barney's Franks realized that he cannot make in a world where he must compete with his little media venture because no one would listen to him so he goes back to government where the people are forced to listen whether in speeches or laws.

She doesn't want to define the middle class because soon there is not going to be any at all. The communists don't want to come out of the closet yet. They are fighting for their own survival and to remain in power. It took the Cubans quite a long period of time to realize who Castro really was, and when he took his make off, all Cubans were already enslaved and dispossessed This is why Warren has to lie and misinform the public as long as possible. The same is true for the sociopaths Obama, Biden, Hillary, Reid Pelosi and the rest of the entourage. The recent TV appearances from Obama are a sign that he is not sure about for how long he can mislead the nation and for how long his propaganda machine is going to work.

Of course she can't define 'middle class' - not on TV, that is! She knows full well that such definition has to be flexible, because of taxing 'the rich', and someone might pin her down about being middle class, according to her.

Can't have that.

Oh - I'm sooo delighted that the condescending, softly-softly tone of voice so beloved by our socialist female hyaenas has crossed the Big Pond and found a new practitioner in Fauxcahontas!

O/t but funny:

Flying on Air Force One, Obama looked at Oprah, chuckled and said, 'You know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy.

Oprah shrugged her shoulders and replied, 'I could throw ten $100 bills Out of the window and make ten people very happy.

Michelle added, 'That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10 bills Out of the window and make a hundred people very happy..

Hearing their exchange, the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his co-pilot, "Such big-shots back there. I could throw all three of them out of the window and make 256 million people very happy.'

If you're one of those 256 million, pass this on!! :-)
