My problem with bourgeoisie is that its too broad a term. The "bourgeoisie" is a larger part of the population than the part setting the political agenda in the US. It implies that there are all these individually owned businesses in the cities controlling the political agenda, when the businesses with a voice are really the large corps with lobbyists which are controlled by a few dozen board members frequently sitting on multiple corps boards.
