It did not specifically target the upper middle class Americans.

President Johnson's Democratic reform program was referred to as the Great Society. It aimed to fulfill his goals in the areas of education, health care, poverty, discrimination and environment. The Congress passed many Great Society measures in 1965. They included Medicare, federal aid to education and civil rights legislation. Medicare was a federal program which provided health insurance to people who were 65 years of age and older.

The great society was formed to run a series of policies, programs and legislation in order to eradicate poverty, minimise inequality, reducing crime and improving the overall environment. 

This agenda of largest social reform was laid down by president Lyndon B. Johnson in May 1964, during his speech at the Michigan University. 

President Johnson tried to target all of the age group, different ethnic groups etc. The African Americans who were a target from many years, young pre school children and American adults over the age of 65. Reforms were made to benefit all except for the upper middle class Americans.
