IMO that's a bit of a red herring. What matters is source of income. Are you in some way paid for work, or is your income based on the disposition of capital? If your income is based all or mostly on investments / property, then you are middle class, aka bourgeois. What they're talking about above is middle _income_ working class, which is an entirely different thing.

People who get money via work have a completely different set of priorities from people whose income relies on ownership of assets. For instance, a good question to ask, if you were to get sick and be unable to work, would your income stop / be greatly reduced? Or would the money continue coming in regardless? That's going to govern your attitudes towards health care, unions, retirement, pensions, unemployment insurance, daycare, and innumerable other issues.
