Well, except the guy came from a well-off family and had a good higher education. Not really a “lower-class” type, but certainly someone who could be rallied behind.

There is no middle or lower class. He worked for a living and was thus working class.

There is no middle

Well not anymore there's not! That's a huge problem too.

There hasn't been a middle since the old middle class became today's upper class, replacing the aristocracy. Since then, "middle class" is just an attempt to pit the working class against one another.

Luigi is one of us.

Uh, the old middle class is a very, very far way away from the 0.1% that run the country.
