There's quite a few households and quite a lot of people between $35k and $100k. The claim that there is no middle class is blatantly, provably false. The very, very top has a lot. I don't think anybody is disputing that (I'm certainly not). But there are a lot of people who make a solid, middle class income.
The share of total national income for the middle class has been in decline for 50 years. The piece of the pie that the middle class represents is shrinking.
