Upper Class, Middle Class, Lower Class

   So this is basically how it breaks down.  Society, that
is.  These are the Socioeconomic groups that people are classified into: Upper Class, Middle Class, And Lower Class

Chances are that you belong to the middle class as does up to 46% of U.s.  households; 15 percent upper middle and 31% lower middle class.

But it is also possible that you are considered part of the lower class like the 52-57% of American families.   Now this sounds shocking and incorrect.  don't worry, it is.  There is one more class I forgot to mention.  The Working class makes up 40-45% of the 52-57% I listed as lower class.  

The poorest of poor, traditionally thought of as lower class makes up only 12%.

despite these giant percentages, there is still a slight chance that you could be a part of the peak of the pyramid, that is about 5.9%, the upper class. 
Now my pyramid chart above is not exactly acurate.  But I thought it would be somewhat paradoxical to correctly make the middle class the bottom class, but that is where this class should be found considering that the greatest percentage of the population belongs to this class. 

I guess you could say it looks like this...
