Joe and Eileen Bailey are a (fictional) middle-class couple in Massapequa, which is a suburb on Long Island. You can read all about them in Schumer's 2007 book, Positively American.
The Baileys:
Bought into Reagan Republicanism in 1980.
Are worried about losing their jobs.
Believe in tax breaks for kids to go to college.
Make around $70,000 (in ~2007 dollars).
Are not anti-immigration, but are anti-illegal immigration.
Really dislike the Enron executives who stole money.
Are pro-choice.
Voted for Donald Trump.
Have children.
Don't tolerate lying in their house.
Watch Sex and the City and Desperate Housewives.
Think most baseball players take steroids.
Enjoy kung pao chicken.
Have guided Chuck Schumer's political life.
