How Low Can It Go? Richardson Pegs Middle Class as Those Making Under $120,000
For the second time in a week, a prominent Democrat has downgraded Barack Obama's definition of the middle class -- leading Republicans to question whether he'll stick to his promise not to raise taxes on anyone making under $250,000.
The latest hiccup in the campaign message came Friday morning on KOA-AM, when New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson pegged the middle class as those making $120,000 and under.
"What Obama wants to do is he is basically looking at $120,000 and under among those that are in the middle class, and there is a tax cut for those," Richardson said in the interview, according to a clip posted on YouTube.
There's no indication that Obama has changed his tax policy, which states that anyone making under $200,000 would get a tax cut under his administration, and nobody making under $250,000 would be hit with a tax increase. Richardson actually recited that part of Obama's plan correctly earlier in his radio interview.
But Sarah Palin accused Obama of shifting the threshold Friday afternoon at a rally in York, Pa.
"So now we're down to less than half of the original income level," she said, citing Richardson's interview. "We can't let this happen."

Most liberals won't give a damn. They figure he will never get the number down to the $20,000 combined income they and their SO make. :whatever:

..Once again, the Democrats are schooling us all in how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. This tax thing that Obama's been hawking is the only thing that they have. I've heard the tax cut for families making less than 250K or individuals making less than 200 so many times from all of the Obama talking heads that I can hear the messiah's voice reciting it. Now they are jettisoning it all by very obviously lowering it instead of keeping their traps shut and coasting through the election. I really just don't understand it - Its almost like he is torpedoing his own campaign.(not that I'm complaining)
