People in Silicon Valley are NOT RICH by any means.

In fact, they are barely middle class if that. The fact is, that the value of a dollar in Silicon Valley is completely different then the value of a dollar in the rural south. And fascist talk radio hosts state the same weasel over and over and over again praying on their less educated audience in rural areas.

The value of a dollar in Silicon Valley is about $3.50-1 in the rural south which is never explained by fascist talk show hosts repeting Silicon Valley tec worker salaries over and over and over again.

$200,000+ a year equates to middle income in San Francisco.

Middle class isn’t a thing. Middle income is. As is low income, high income etc.

Low middle or high incomes are relative to where you live and what buying power they give you.

@justanothername $450k a year is what it takes to be middle class in San Francisco for a family of 4.

I don't go by what takes 2 full time working adults just to get by. To be a middle class family of 4 i go by head of household primary breadwinner income only.

@Alabamarednek If $450K is what it takes to be a middle income family of four then that’s what it takes. In San Francisco both men and women get computer science degrees and jobs to go with them rather than applying your outdated methodology.
