Isn’t middle simply confusing?
Are we not working folks and wealthy-ruling folks that generate wealth via assets?
Edit: thank you all who’ve helped me gain a better understand of the concept from many different angles

They are not the same. Based on the definitions below – which are just found on the interwebz – it doesn’t make sense to discuss “working class” unless you are specifically talking about their working conditions. You can be dirt poor and still be working class, while you wouldn’t be middle class. I suppose you can also be pretty rich and be a part of the working class, going by the definition below.
Working class: the social group consisting primarily of people who are employed in unskilled or semi-skilled manual or industrial work.
Middle class: The middle class refers to a class of people in the middle of a social hierarchy, often defined by occupation, income, education, or social status.
