NO WAY, especially since they have de-valued our currency. It has no real value!

Considering that it's about 6 times the average income for a US household, yes, it's wealthy.

YES

but it is not always how it looks. Some people believe being wealthy isn't even at a million per year. While others believe 100K a year is wealthy.

If that is gross income for a small business it is possible that is not very much money at all. I grossed 100k for a few years but after paying all my expenses... employees, materials, fuel, insurance, etc, etc, I barely survived.

If it is a salary then that is some darn good money.

But we all know the saying "the more you make, the more you spend". These days location also has a lot to do with it. Living in LA or SF in CA that money won't go nearly as far as living in some other areas.

Not unless they live as if they only made 60k a year. If you live beyond your means, you'll never get ahead or wealthy.

Not unless they own the business. If they're the employee, one could get fired or layed off the next day. Nobody becomes wealthy working for someone else.

No - and whatever you consider IS wealthy, it is their money, they paid more taxes on it than anybody else and should be able to do with it what they want.

In NYC where everything is expensive including taxes, $250,000 is considered middle class.

They should have a comfortable lifestyle as long as they stay within their means.

Assuming they keep doing it, sure. After a few years, there's real money there. :)

To some that is a lot of money and to others that is a portion of what they make. It just depends on what you compare it to ;-)

Barack is targeting 750,000 small business owners also. The Liberals are spinning this to their base. Educating a Liberal is like talking to a brick wall in a Depression. They are dumbing down the citizenship in this country. Democrats want to keep their superficial talking points. OBlamer has notning to stand on. How can we engage crazy Democrats that make no sense.
