[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Upper class leverage existing resources for income.
UMC still trade time, labor and intellectual labor for income.[/quote]

So Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are UMC?[/quote]

they make the bulk of their income from the fought over winery and other investment vehicles, pitt was UMC when he did his first few films.  there ae plenty of athletes and actors who are wealthy UMC and actually end up MC.

Agree with the above pster that there is no upper class in America- theres just the super rich, they dont actually have manners, codes or anythng approaching social mores that tie them together other than piles of cash.  A true upper class has a culture of some kind. Super rich americans dont have a cohesive culture, thgey only have money, pnce tehy loe the money tehy are no longer anything.  Upper class from other places stay upper class at least until their own death, in USA, its pay to play.   Middle class americans have a cohesive set of identifiers, beliefs and cultural touchpoints that are important to us despite pople trying to say we have 'no' culture.  [/quote]
