Claire's is a company that is entirely dependent on a strong middle class.

When people are struggling, the very first budget item that gets cut in every family are overpriced rhinestones and lip gloss.

If anything, the idea of a "middle class" benefits oligarchs as a buffer between them and everyone else who has to work for a living.
