The economic tipping point

From Democratic Strategy, Anne Kim writes that the Democrats are stuck in a “Message of Misery” that alienates the middle class:

$23,700. That is the household income level at which a white person became more likely to vote for a Republican over a Democrat in congressional races in 2004. That's $5,000 above the poverty line for a family of four, less than half the median income of the typical voting household of all races, and an emphatic repudiation of all things Democratic among the white middle class. Obtaining a sustainable Democratic majority in either house will be impossible unless there is a significant change in this economic tipping point.

In a nutshell, most Americans in the middle class simply do not accept the doom and gloom of the Democrats. Hat tip: Real Clear Politics.
