The middle class is a buffer, or bulwark, between the rich and the poor. The rich both hate and need the middle class. They hate new money, middle class people that try to join their ranks. That's why they tax the hell out of the middle class, and allow the poor to rob and kill the middle class, so they struggle to move up. This is described in 1984.

No, that would be armed, violent men (police, army, national guard, personal body guards).

If the rich had their way, there would be no middle class except maybe a very small number of artisans and entertainers that need to be paid well and allowed a comfortable life. Everyone else would be a serf.
