Hi All :)
    Ok... serious question which may or may not interest non-U.S. listers
:)

    Everyone is talking about the 'middle-class' ... which Dad told me back
in the 70's that our family was the quintessential middle-class family....
Dad worked, Mom ran the house (and with a kid like me around?  That was a
FULL TIME job! hehe)  We had what we needed and some of what we wanted...
and we had a great life... (editorial by a 41 year old who now knows that
Dad was actually right!)

   What is middle-class now?  in 2000 ... various campaign rhetoric said
that $50,000 for a household was poverty... others said it was
middle-class... Who decides these things??? and on what basis??
