Ive made anywhere from $18,000-$48,000 per year over the last 16 years(starting from when I turned 18). Im 34 now, hopefully when I am 44 I have the income the Palin's enjoy, then I can say I understand the middle class too.

Im sure Obama's income far and away excedes Palins, and is probably on par with McCains. I know Obama claims a connection with the middle class, but when has he actually been middle class?
