I could (probably get killed for it, but that is another matter) make an argument that we have moved too much towards the middle class than what would be good for us. I have found that in my industry, people that have the education and work ethic would prefer to do things other than weld or construction. Companies that require this skilled labor have increased wages, but they cannot find workers skilled enough to do the work. Essentially, the college grads don't want to work in construction, while the ones that didn't go to college don't have either the work ethic or the skills to become good employees.

Without getting into too much detail we probably agree, although I'm setting the bar for poor much lower than you are.
