Reclassifying the rich

Re “Middle-Class Workers Ailing in Census Checkup,” Aug. 30
The Census Bureau has taken to breaking down the economic category of “poor” to be “poverty stricken” and “severely poverty stricken” (under $10,000?).
Might I suggest that anyone earning a salary of more than $1 million be classified as “severely rich” and those pulling down a salary of more than $2.5 million be labeled “obscenely rich.”
