Disagree entirely. Unions never really took off until the 40's. The middle class existed long, long before that. I believe the middle class, as we think of it was the result of WW2 and the aftermath, and the growth of technology across the nation that also resulted from WW2.
What "killed" the middle class, (it's not at all dead BTW), was the social safety net that made it not just possible to live off the taxpayer, but made it easy. That's why "the poor" (who live a life of relative luxury here compared to the rest of the world) have grown to out number the middle class. Plus, many of the traditional middle class are now considered "the rich" even though their lifestyle is decidedly middle class.
But hey, go on loving the corrupt unions (who are the lower rich class) and hating "the rich", but be careful because you very well may find out YOU are one of "the rich" according to those that make their livings, very, very good livings, off class warfare!

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
