I think this term came into vogue as a euphemism that seeks to disguise the rapidly increasing extreme wealth gap and dire financial straits of a larger and larger portion of the population, which has resulted in a shrinking middle class and a huge population of people who, despite working more, have less and less purchasing power. This term makes me despise those I call "corporate Dems" who came up with it, because the term itself is a bad faith attempt to fool people about their situation. Who is the working class? Might be me, might be someone else, who knows? The politicians don't have to explain it. They use the language of heroism to describe teachers, restaurant workers, tradespeople, you-name-it. But if you're a white collar worker who sits behind a desk and could barely survive a month without a paycheck because these corporate pols refuse to tax their billionaire overlords, it's you too, and you know it.
