Working people

Question

Hi, with "working people" do they refer to working class or just a general working people in society? I'm not sure to what it refers...

""Liberalism" can refer to political, economic, or even religious ideas. In the U.S. political liberalism has been a strategy to prevent social conflict. It is presented to poor and working people as progressive compared to conservative or Rightwing."

Great, I thought also about "the working class" I wonder why they didn't write it, and chose to write working people or maybe to English speakers it is already implies to the working class... <img class='emoticon' style='Width:19px;Height:19px;' data-delaysrc='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/1.gif' src='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/1.gif' alt='Emotion: smile'/>

We like to think of ourselves as a classless society, at least in the feudal sense.  The term also still carries the odor of Communism.
