TheMiddleClass.org Report Card by DMI

TheMiddleClass.org

I don't usually post about my work here, but Advomatic recently launched the TheMiddleClass.org, a project by the Drum Major Institute, a non-profit think tank founded during the Civil Rights era. The site grades legislators in Congress on how they voted on selected pieces of legislation, based on how supportive the bill is of the middle class (defined by DMI).

I won't say much more here, but Joshua Levy from techPresident shared some positive things about the site and its excellent design by multipod.

Is there an easy way to find DMI's current definition of the middle class? A 5 second website browse turned up nothing.

The about page, linked to from the menu:

Thanks! But, that was unsatisfying. Do you know who DMI considers to NOT be middle class, from the upper bound? I would assume the lower bound is anyone without those cheery ideals.

I get the impression that they're not into setting precise bounds.

Nice website, but what's with the chairs? My metaphor button is broken.

We had nothing to do with the logo, so I can't speak for the chairs.
