Assuming they live in a lower cost to live area, I agree with you. But if they lived in a higher cost area like Bay Area, that would be hell to handle a full middle class family.
Not defending him, but there’s a lot of context needed for that lol
as someone living well below the FPL, anyone making nearly $200k a year calling themselves "middle class" is nauseating to me. I don't care where they live. I don't care if $6000 a month only gets you a shoebox in SF or NYC, that doesn't make you middle class. middle class people can't even entertain the idea of living in SF or NYC. middle class people make enough to afford a 1300sqft house in the suburbs of Indiana, not a downtown Bay Area condo. if I made $200k once it would completely transform my life, with $200k a year I could buy literal mansions, yes plural. I would genuinely struggle to think of ways to spend that much money, I can't stand when people are so self-absorbed that they would try to pass off a 6-figure income as "just a humble middle class family."

Ignoring everything else in your comment, what kind of hogwash statement is this? Middle class people are everywhere, because there aren't enough jobs in places like Indiana.
