Forty years ago, Richard Nixon made a remarkable marketing discovery. By exploiting America's divisions - divisions over Vietnam, divisions over cultural change and, above all, racial divisions - he was able to reinvent the Republican brand. The party of plutocrats was repackaged as the party of the "silent majority," the regular guys - white guys, it went without saying - who didn't like the social changes taking place.

Nixon had his own brand of plumbers, and they weren't hanging out in Ohio.
That being said, to quantify middle class as making up to $250,000 is generous indeed. My income is slightly less than the average plumber cited in the truthout article; it was way less than that before my current job. Wtf? Do I qualify for poverty benefits? I sure am more comfortable than those I consider living below the poverty line.
