Guess we would need to agree on what "working class" means.
People who earn their living primarily from working and earning a paycheck.
As opposed to the capital class, who earn their living primarily from interest on their invested capital.
So brain surgeons are working class, not upper class? Because they make half a million on salary?
A brain surgeon makes money by working on brains and therefore is in the working class; the person that owns the hospital makes money by extracting rents from the brain surgeon and therefore is in the capitalist class.
Upper class and middle class don't necessarily correspond directly with those terms.
