“No,” Romney replied, “middle income is $200,000 to $250,000 and less.”

In an interview on Friday morning with George Stephanopoulos for “Good Morning America,” presidential candidate former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA) said that he believes that in the U.S., middle income is $200,000 to $250,000 per year.

I looked it up on Lexis and it is a recent registration as well. I've been meaning to find that out because I notice a distinct RW lean to Yahoo! News. Wilson currently serves as their news editor according to his snarky, anti-Dem Twitter feed.
