Both Republican candidate Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama are discussing tax cuts for the "middle class," but both define that as household income of less than $200,000 or $250,000 a year.

On Friday, Romney told ABC's "Good Morning America" that he would not raise taxes on "middle income" taxpayers. George Stephanopoulos asked him if "middle income" was $100,000, and he responded, "No, middle income is $200,000 to $250,000 and less."

Obama has proposed keeping the Bush-era tax cuts for everyone making less than $250,000, which he also defines as middle income. But Obama's plan would raise taxes on those making more than $250,000, while Romney's would give higher income earners a tax break, according to the New York Times.

The median — or middle — household income in America is about $50,000, the Census Bureau reported last week. In Connecticut, the median income was $64,032 in 2010, down about 6 percent from $68,174 in 2009. Are both Romney and Obama miscalculating when they define middle-income for a family as up to $250,000?
