Your community poll numbers are way to high for this community. If you wanted a better representation you should of included under $20,000 then you would probably get a better view of how many live below the poverty line here in North Bay.
Perhaps. But in all likelihood those in that income bracket are too buy trying to survive and don't have the luxury of leisurely reading local news.

If one accounts for inflation, $60k per year is hovering around subsistence. Better than mimimum wage yes, but certainly not thriving. This is a glaring case of how corporate interests have been pandered to by our various levels of government over the past 40 years, and they've allowed them to run roughshod over the average worker. Add to this that the marginal tax rate system hasn't adjusted for this reality and treats someone earning $60k as being "rich" and are they're subsequently being penalized tax-wise. It's criminal.
If your local politician isn't talking about reforming the marginal tax system, then tell them to take a hike.
