This is a simple minded analysis. You conflate the global population in middle income countries with the American middle class. The average person in a middle income country earns around $5,000 a year. A middle class American earns around $30,000, six times more. The two are not the same. Even if it's suffering, the American middle class is still doing better monetarily than 90% of the world's population. They're rich by poor world standards. Please amend this.
