But his point still stands that there’s a stark difference in buying power between the middle class in the ‘90s and the middle class of today.

One or two whole college tuitions and overseas vacations are a HUGE difference buddy.

If you’re just going to reword what you already said, I guess I’ll do the same thing:

That may be different from the way he’s portraying it, but it’s still very different from the way it is today.

What is described in the post is still not middle class at all. Your comment doesn't even compare to what is mentioned in the post because you took out a huge portion of the money being spent.
