Complacent middle class, or rapidly shrinking and struggling to not fall further middle class?

Yeah, the issue here isn’t the middle class, it’s as usual, the owner class that’s the problem

The middle class is their tool. They are incented to perpetuate this bullshit.

I respectfully disagree. The middle class is not perfect, but the issue here is the ruling class

How are you blaming the “middle” class? What could you suggest nurses, teachers, fire fighters, etc do to solve the problem of wealth inequality?

I genuinely want to know because it seems to me that we control nothing and have no excess to give.

Stop performing those services. En mass.

You get that they’ll just de-professionalize those roles and let untrained, unskilled hacks and quacks loose on the general populace, right? I mean you want to have your kids taught by some goof quoting Grok, and your grandma getting her life saving treatment from Bobby Kennedy approved witch-doctors that’s where you end up if the professionals all decide to quit En Masse.
