Yeah it's true that in the UK there's far more of a cultural conception of class than as being something purely financial, but by those metrics there really doesn't exist an upper class in the US in the same way where you have people who are poor but have some weird patronage title.
But yeah, the cultural middle class of PMC is not the entirety of the middle class as a whole. The sorts of middle class people that are like a regional manager for a bunch of gas stations are going to be different culturally.
That's true of a lot of actually middle class people in the US too, the problem is that they often use it to justify the existence of capitalism for themselves.
