In Marxist theory, the middle class is the merchant class, the bourgeoisie. The very rich.

But Hannity doesn't strike me as a Marxist. In the US the middle class represents the well-heeled working class, the peti-bourgoeoisie, who can afford nice cars and homes and to dine and shop at bougy joints.

A shrinking demographic.
