Or do we lift the dollar-numbers of "middle class" to reflect what it takes to attain what we've typically expected middle-classers (even, say on the upper end of middle-classers) to attain?

Or, just for fun, we could look at what policies are creating this widening gulf between rich and poor, such that there is no real "middle class" any more.
