- How about defining the middle class as the people who pay
- the highest national income tax marginal rate (including FICA)
- on their wage/salary/tip income? This range, for people using
- the standard deduction and having no other income (admittedly
- artificial assumptions), is:
-
- Single people with no dependents:
- $25900-53400 (35.65% marginal tax rate)
-
- Married people, 2 children, each spouse makes 1/2 of the income:
- $48300-106800 (35.65% to 38.65% marginal tax rate)
