The stupid American conflation of the working class with the middle class is dead.

The middle class is the 80th-99th percentiles, in the middle between the capitalist class and the workers. It's not the group centered on the mode of the income distribution. The middle class manages the workers and gains professional training.

It's what we call the upper middle class and it's doing fine.

What politicians call the middle class is bifurcating. About 40% are seeing higher wages, and the bottom 60% are seeing lower wages.

In other words, the real middle class is gone since it is defined by income relative to the cost of living and goods. A worker bee in the 60s was middle class because he could afford a home, a car, stay at home wife, and a kid with his income. That was middle class, despite working a blue collar gig

No, the correct definition of the middle class is the class between the rich and the workers, that manages the economy.

The 1960s Affluent Society definition of "middle class" was always political happy talk.

The idea that there is a middle class where people are treated equally is dead.

You go on a flight and there are 10 different lines now. The lowest price ticket doesn't even get a bottle of water.

Disney World now lets you cut lines if you pay more. If you pay even more you can cut all the lines.

Concert tickets and sporting events are often $500 a ticket for basic seats. Stadiums keep getting rebuilt with taxpayer money to introduce more suites, more clubs, etc.

Even when you go to the movie theater, there's a separate line for "VIPS" to buy popcorn.

The highways are being restructured to add for pay "express lanes" so wealthier people don't have to sit in traffic.

UMC people don't even go to restaurants anymore - they get Chilis and McDonald's delivered to them.

The world where there was a "middle class" where the town doctor and his janitor left the office and, while the doctor went home to a much nicer house, when they left their houses then experienced more or less the same America - that middle class lifestyle is dead.
