Use has changed because talking heads are dimwits.  The definition remains 
the same.  The problem is the average sheople hasn't a clue what the 
definition is and thus they go along with the overpaid idiots on television. 
We don't require any exhibition of intelligence in this country and therein 
lies the problem.

A "comfortable living" is not a criteria of middle class.   And "working 
class" can't be middle class.  They are, by and large, by definition blue 
collar.  Professionals and management are white collar.

What we need is folks to stop being led around by their noses by people with 
less intelligence than some of my chickens!  The whole "Big 3" thing is a 
prime example.  They idiots on television, at least half of them, are 
running around like chicken little, screaming the sky is falling, the sky is 
falling because they don't know the difference between Ch. 11 and Ch. 7 
bankruptsy.  Because they don't know the difference between those two should 
we change their definitions also?  We don't need to change anything, we need 
people to LEARN to speak English with a tiny bit of understanding of the 
definitions that already exist.  Arg!  Public school has been far to 
successful!
