Good, working class salaries need to be high! We can't function as a society without all the people who dispose of our garbage, maintain our plumbing and water supply, grow our food, provide our electricity, and support our IT infrastructure.
Only one clarification: there is no difference between lower class, middle class and working class. White collar or blue collar, we are all collared.
The middle class construct is artificially invented so the owning class (people who don't have to work for their money) have something for the workers to aspire to. A software engineer with $300k/y is far closer wealth wise to a minimum wage worker in Mickey-D than they are to your Tim Cooks, Jeff Bezos and Adolf, pardon, Elon Musk.
In a Tesla, Prius or in a old Dodge, you are still stuck in traffic while they are flying with private jets.
