I just started questioning the current world view, how can people earning a minimum wage be considered poor, but when people passes certain threshole you can be considered middle class.

Minimum wage person earns 12k per year after taxes (Considered poor)

"Middle" class person earns 120k after taxes

Billionaires (upper class) 12 billion dollars

You cannot be in the middle if you don't earn that much, It feels like it is a lie told to people in order to vote against their interest and the poorer people. So called middle class is closer to the poor than to be actually in the middle
