The title of this post is misleading. Even the article states that there are 31 million families in the middle class. It further states that while 12mm families were "solidly middle class" (whatever that means) in 2000, only 8mm families were so in 2006. It then states that 4mm more families are in danger of sliding into poverty based on 2008 estimates.
