It seems to me there are 3 states of economic classes, rather than two. 1) The poor are like earth or ice, not mobile or free with their money - mostly frozen and trapped within their hand-to-mouth circumstances. 2) The rich and some of the middle class are somewhat fluid like molasses or water - able to swim and ebb and flow but within the limits of the leveraged boundaries established for them. 3) The unaccountable ruling class in their gaseous or vapour state can fly wherever and whenever they please fueled by private holdings.
It's a decent idea. Especially because different people can make it to different points at different incomes. But two people at the same income level can be very different economically depending on their behavior. People who don't save turn themselves into a higher viscosity fluid.
Just save like mad and you can transition between jobs with comfort instead of compromising at every turn. Someone who doesn't save is someone who has a forced hand in every situation.
Spending money is stupid because it forces you into the molasses lifestyle. The difference in enjoyment between being molasses vs water is more than any enjoyment you get out of spending the money. For me it's not about being a grumpy miser. It's about wanting a genuinely enjoyable life. You don't need to spend money to enjoy life. But you do need a maximal sense of security and flexibility to. Selling security and flexibility for fun is silly, because last I checked fun is basically free.

Also the Ruling Class, the Deep State, and their corrupt matrix of rigged systems (not shown).
I think that just broadly goes under parasites.
I guess.
