Well, if you're going to restrict the upper class to the top 1%, then the upper limit of middle class is around 350K.  If you expand the upper class to the top 5% it's around 180K.  If you consider the top 20% to be the upper class, then it's around 100K.

So by the standards of the 99%ers, Romney's problem is he is counting some middle class households as upper class.  However, by any reasonable definition of middle class, his definition is too expansive.  The 33% income tax bracket kicks in at approximately $200K. (Exact value depends on whether you are married, head of household, or single.)
