Well from that "wiki":

The "professional class", also called the "upper middle class", consists mostly of white collar professionals, most of whom are highly educated, salaried professionals whose work is largely self-directed. Many have graduate degrees, with educational attainment serving as the main distinguishing feature of this class. Typical occupations of the Professional Class would include University Professor, Physician, Lawyer, Journalist, Architect, Physicist, Chemist, Engineer, and Airline Pilot. Household incomes commonly exceed $100,000, with some smaller one-income-earner households having incomes in the high 5-figure range.

So I guess the middle class is anyone under, what, $500K....1M? Again, that isn't an answer and when a person says "I understand the middle class" or "rich can afford more taxes" I'd like to know what that means.
