Short answer is its relative.A longer answer is; at $15,000 (assuming they work)a person is going to struggle but they usually have food and shelter, maybe a car, and other "normal" bills.At $30,000, assuming they work, people still struggle because they eat a little better, might have a little better house, prolly a more reliable car and other "normal" bills.If you add the cost of children to either of them its gonna be more of a struggle.Theres no reason Citizens should be struggleing so much.  Corporations that have shipped jobs overseas, only to reimport goods have broken the back of the middle class and have made the poor class struggle even more.The small business man relies on the middle class and poor class to stay afloat.  If the middle class becomes broke and the poor cant afford to buy, whats the small business guy going to do? Work harder, longer and become broke as well.The answer is to tax the hell out of every US company that uses overseas labor and then imports goods back into the US.  Let China or India buy theyre crap or bring the jobs back.</blockquote>
