Back to the original question, what is considered middle class, at least here in the US?

In England, it used to be business owners and mover and shakers who were still only 'commoners'. It was more social than economic in nature.

Would you consider someone who is in a Union, and paid in the $80K region middle class or working class? What about a civil engineer making $40K? Are they middle class or working class? How about a teacher making 30K per year? Middle class or working class?
