The “middle class” is just semi-proletarians and the petty-bourgeoisie. You see the headlines the middle class is shrinking and that is just the proletarianization of those two groups (and other smaller segments) as the explicitly bourgeoisie and capitalist extract more and more from the proletariat.
Since middle class isnt really a marxist category, afaik, i was using the colloquial definition of owning your own home, kids going to college, 2 cars, ect. I was talking about standard of living. Because what im describing used to be possible for the american proletariat
