I hate the use of working class that excludes front line workers who very much still work for a living. Why call it working class if it’s just a fancy name for lower class instead of fully including all workers?

  I took. > Incorrectly think they’re middle class

    What I was meaning to say is that people who are working class think that they are middle class because they aren’t destitute, yet they have no significant assets, and could not survive an extreme financial event.
    
    I just feel that politicians use middle class as a weapon where when they talk about policies benefitting the middle class they often benefit people far richer than the median but people think they mean them.

    Yup. Most people think they’re middle class. Not many actually are
