The middle class is suffering because there are other folks around the world who are now coming to the table to eat.

That may be what immediately triggered the problem, but I don't think that's the problem. I think the problem is that a lot of the middle class suffers from lower class thinking and those that do are the ones who are at risk.

Middle class thinkers fancy themselves owners, not just workers. They are diversified. They have real estate and stocks and are not so utterly dependent on the man, whether that be the company or the state. I'm talking about psychological dependence as well as financial. When the union jobs of workers lifted them financially into the middle class, their attitudes didn't change. They just lived higher on the hog. They bought big screen TVs instead of stock in multi-national corporations.

JMHO.
