This is a huge generalization. Some people struggle to contribute to TFSA's without the expensive toys. A very dangerous precedent is to assume that all middle class people are wasting money on frivolous things. Many are in positions of debt and financial constraint because of more complex economic factors, such as inability to find appropriately-paying work, massive student debt leftovers, having children, cost of living, etc.
