I mean for B&B specifically. Well, Y&R too. I would HATE if Y&R became a soap about social struggle. Ugh. Both of those shows are about characters, not issues.

Definitely not true. Y&R historically was always a mix of character and social drama.

No Question Reese's Family is loaded and her father is suposed to be at the very top of his field with a huge company. However Reese didn't work for her father and seems to be working for herself. So i wouldn't consider her rich at this point.

That being said she had enough cash to bulid a Home in paris without Binks even knowing , so maybe she is rich.

Y&R has the heaviest set of well-to-do families with disposable incomes. They all feed from Victor's bosom hoping it never runs drive.

The focus on pretty much all the soaps is on wealthy characters.

I think ATWT and GL have middle-class families as their central characters currently -- the Snyders (middle-class copper Jack getting more airtime rather than rich Holden/Lily) and the Coopers.
