Wild definition of middle class. If you live paycheck to paycheck on a 40 hour minimum wage job you can hardly call yourself middle class. In countries without good health insurance, you can be one infected teeth away from bankruptcy. And you cannot simply choose a better job. You’re working 40 hours, how could you go to job interviews during normal work hours?

It’s not “higher = better” but the level above suppresses / deceives the level below. And the higher up you go, the fewer people inhabit a level.
