Ok.  See this

Charles Schumer at the Dem Convention pointed out:

"Under this plan, under this Ryan budget, Mitt Romney's own taxes would drop to almost zero," Schumer said. "But for the middle class, it's a rip-off. Families with children whose household income is less than $200,000 would see their taxes go up $2,000, on average.

Seems like Schumer defines middle class at household of $200K or less.  How is that any different from Romney?  BTW, in NYC $200K or $250K is really not that much.  It is a good upper middle class income but not rich.

How is

"No, middle income is $200,000 to $250,000 and less," Romney responded.

that much different from

"But for the middle class, it's a rip-off. Families with children whose household income is less than $200,000 would see their taxes go up $2,000, on average." Schumer said.

Ones says 200K-250K and less, the other says $200K and less.  Seems like the same thing to me with the exception of this fuzzy $200K to 250K zone.  If that is what the Dems want to battle Romeny on ($200K vs $250K) then fine.  But anything else seems to contradict what the Dems themeslves said.

Um, Romney defined middle-class income at above $200K. That's the exact opposite of below $200K.
