He is no worse than bi-fag only difference if he post his articles to appear enlightened and consistently gets owned. Bluntesq if you ask me
If you would man up and stop being so emotional you would see the point I am making............
Not directed at you but I am assuming all these people talking about investing in this and that have a nice little nest egg to do so with cause as "poor" as everyone is supposed to be in this "crisis" I don't see what good investing a pittance in gold/euros/etc will do...
Whoa whoa whoa...Kaya is cool by me...I'm not jumping into that argument...
It all depends.It is definatly geographical.In some areas those careers are extremely low paid.In some others they are upper middle class.I think this is the same point that beatdown was trying to make but his numbers to support that point were off.
So, let me see if I have this right, Amos & Andy are in here trying to say the economy is not that bad and we are just making this up? And they are arguing salaries as a way to prove their point? Is that what I'm hearing? They remind me of this dude on TV the other day, when asked by reporters about the economy and mentioned gas prices may reach $4/gal, this clown said he didn't hear about it and it was *news* to him.. 
talk about out of touch with reality...

Dude you are totally out of the conversation...you can't even follow the point being made or argued...
...all you are doing is coming in the thread when you think it suits you and taking cheap little jabs...No...you clearly don't...the salaries where brought up to discuss whether those professions fall into middle class salaries...not to "prove" whether or not the middle class is sliding toward poverty...

NO you simpin ass nigga if you pay attention bigirl tried to prove her point in what is going on in the city is she was way off and she got called on it more than a few occasions in here. We talking about the economy in nyc we already know whats going on nationally.
If you would man up and stop being so emotional you would see the point I am making............
You actually believe what you just posted?
No. YOU are way off.

That is a huge gap.
30K middle class means you are living in a poor city, lack city resources, subject to mass layoffs etc.
If not you are lower class.
70K middle class means you are living in a city with a high cost of living, most likely rent because real estate is high, work more hrs than the average.
I would say middle is more 50K-70K.
I wouldn't even count teachers, cops, firemen as middle class anymore (they used to be).
This is my quote.
If a suffolk county cop makes 90K, its because he HAS TO live in suffolk county. Suffolk county is at the very eastern tip of Long Island.
Thus the second statement holds true........
"means you are living in a city with a high cost of living, most likely rent because real estate is high, work more hrs than the average."
Excerpt:
"Our cost of living indices are based on a US average of 100. An amount below 100 means Suffolk County, NY is cheaper than the US average. A cost of living index above 100 means Suffolk County, NY is more expensive.
Overall, Suffolk County, NY cost of living is 138.19."
So my point holds, it doesn't matter how much you make if you don't take into consideration the cost of living there.
says who? you? You were already discredited. Leave it alone now
ok, there's Amos

I was not discredited. You were.

NY tri state area is expensive period, especially with the LI and Jersey having some of the highest property taxes in the nation with westchester county right up there.
Leroy, understand that you CANNOT look at salary without looking at the cost of living.
I could pay you 150K in the Hamptons but based on the cost of living there, you may be living in a garage or basement of somebody's house.
Understand.

"Your" point...? You took Divine's numbers and gave the instances where you think they might apply then you went on to flatly state that your idea of middle class "is more" along the lines of 50-70K with no mention of cost of living...
Prove where I was.
So my point holds, it doesn't matter how much you make if you don't take into consideration the cost of living there.
you the one who said it first. you prove it first.
Duh...!!! The fact still remains that cops, firemen and teachers in NYC are generally capable of earning a middle class salary...the Hamptons is an extreme scenario...I could give you 150K to live in Vandeveer projects does that make you rich?????

No, dumb fuck, the fact is, what was once considered a middle class income, no longer cuts it in today's fucked up economy...
THANK YOU
What is fukked up are people's spending habits...THAT'S a fact...
So, let me get this right again.. Mr.Amos, are you saying the economy is fine?
Yo straight up do you consider 50-70K middle class in NYC...? Those were your numbers...
So, let me get this right again.. Mr.Amos, are you saying the economy is fine?
Yo y'all niggas have no fukkin middle...everything is either all the way up or all the way down...is the economy perfect...no it is not...but to make an exaggerated statement that it's a "fact" the middle class has become the poor is not correct...point blank...
Leroy, i'm sure you heard the phrase "the middle class is shrinking"
Are there less cops and teachers therefore it is shrinking???? Of course not.
Is the middle class shrinking and going to the top????/
Where are they going Leroy?????
Nigga shut the fuck up.. you and George fucking Bush are the only 2 coons in America (pardon me... you, GW, and BeatDown are the only 3 coons) who are trying to downplay the fucked up economy... housing forclusures are at a all time high, gas prices are at an all time high, the price of oil is at an all time high, milk is at a fucking all time high, and the dollar is at an all time LOW... and you three bitches are looking at each other wondering who has the shitty diaper...
