I have to coincide that technically you are correct. $150K is upper middle class so if you throw the upper middle class in with the working class who actually pay taxes it would come to more than 50% of the taxes. I think the way you worded is misleading but I was wrong to claim it was factually incorrect.

No matter how you define it I think it would be hard to call the top 5% middle class

Defense is 60% of the discretionary budget as well, so it's more like 26% overall. Just sayin'. *NM*
