The Bush solution to this is to lower the poverty line. Its the same
idea as saying a family makng $500 K is middle class, to be able to
say with a straight face that a Bush tax cut helps the middle class.

Understand this is DELIBERATE. It is not that the Republicans can't
stop poverty, they want to ENCOURAGE it. Why? Because the poor are not
uppity workers. They will work for less and give no lip.
Republicans always work to widen the gap between the elite and the
common man. Their goal is Brazil. They have already reached Guatemala.
"Never in human history have such genocide and cruelty been witnessed.
Such a genocide was never seen in the time of the pharaohs nor of Hitler
nor of Mussolini."
~ Mehmet Elkatmi, head of Turkish parliament's human rights commission
on Bush's atrocities in the Iraq war.

Exactly! He just wants to make it LOOK like he is doing something.
The thing is, to Republicans, that makes sense.

Considering that the US GDP/capita is about $38K, one has to ask how
one determines the middle in that case.

The per-capita GDP says *nothing* about wealth or income distribution.

True! However, if the mode is $500K while the mean is $38K, I'd
be very surprised, though it's possible -- the inhabitants would have
to have very disparate incomes, however. It's not even possible
for the median to be $500K without a substantial fraction of the
inhabitants having a *negative* income.
So what is the "middle", here?
