I totally agree completely. Politician likes to refer to everyone as either "poor working class" meaning, lower end of socio-economic class, "working class", meaning "middle class", or the "social elite" referring to the "wealthy individuals". I wouldn't consider Bill Gates as a working class. Times has changed and society evolves and should the definition.
Here's my definition, anyone that rely on incomes from any job (illegal or legal) to support his or her entire family should be classified as "working class" period. It's an all inclusive class from a drug dealer to a doctor no matter what the education level or lacked thereof.
