the left wing's policy of plantation politics whereby they seek to maintain a permanent underclass of people who they have deluded into voting for them is one policy that prevents the poor from attaining middle class status. The policy of the left to expand the concept of "rich" to include "income rich who are really middle class" as well as "asset rich" artifically inflates "rich". Those two policies probably account for a great deal of the gulf you cite.
