I think he meant exactly what he said, someone making $200,000 to $250,000 He's out of touch because that is some 4-5 times higher than the median income in the USA. Easy, really....

Easy, really. ok that is more clear. i understand your point. i heard it differently. IMO, you heard it as out of touch based on your dislike of the man AND i firmly believe because your an engineer. your mind uses math as a precise science. im glad, because i like when my buildings not falling down. im a layperson with math and science and work in his industry. Math is more of an art than science to us. i also do not dislike the man. I heard it as in the middle of rich and poor. or as you originally asked, i have a reading problem."The point is, I'm weird, but I never felt weird."
