Isn't the foundation of capitalism basically about capital and those that have it own the means of production and pay those who don't have capital to work and produce? So, basically we only need two classes, the capitalist class and the worker class. So what is this middle class and why is it relevant? What bothers me is that this middle class keeps harping on equality but they certainly don't want to be equal with the working class, they only want to be equal with the capitalist class and could care less about the working class below them. But they do not have the capital to be part of the capitalist class. Obviously they want something they don't rightfully deserve. Wouldn't society be much better off without these troublemakers?
