McCain's definition for a rich person when it comes to taxes
People who make more than 5 million dollars a year!

Speaking of being out of touch...

I guess McCain does not consider himself or his wife rich people either? :rofl:


**Now back to you Chuck Todd**

4. That he elected to use a joking exaggeration
is revealing: it was a question he very much did not want to seriously answer because he simply isn't in touch with what average people make or how they live, but admitting that would be pretty damaging.

5. You have to consider the perspective though. In his "circle" that is probably factually true

6. FIVE MILLION?! He really said that? Geez, Louise, what does he consider POOR?
I didn't see the forum, but I did manage to see Pbama answer that one and wondered how McSame would answer.
