There's a difference between the "middle class" and the "working poor". Perhaps the problem is a lack of understanding of the definition of those two terms on your part.

In case you're interested, here's a Department of Agriculture PDF detailing how much people spend on their children in the US. As you note, food and clothing, two of the items on your list, range from $1,200 - $2,500/year. Housing is an additional $2,500.
