So you know what happens... Corporations become as efficient as possible providing those needs. And the middle gets their cheap products and services, but they also get squeezed.

I would argue that the middle class will overpay for things if they think they are cool and you let them make payments on it.
Look at big SUVs. Most people that have them don't need that kind of vehicle and will never use the four wheel drive or the power it has, but they think they are cool and since everyone else has one, they will happily overpay for it. The same with houses. How many people have bought bigger houses than they need? I personally know several people that bought McMansions just because they thought it was cool.
