[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is that socioeconomic status isn’t just about money. There is a huge socio part to it. So, I will always feel middle class because that is how I grew up and it is a part of me despite having a high income. Why does it matter how someone feels? We should talk about facts and how we allocate responsibilities like taxes based on facts. Income of X is high earning. I think it should be taxed at a higher rate than income of Y. None of this feeling stuff. It is too squishy and doesn’t move the conversation along. Just makes people crazy. [/quote]

Yes! Americans convolute class and income. These are not the same thing as almost any European will tell you. I feel middle class because I am as my tastes and attitude will demonstrate. I am definitely upper income and high wealth. I'm still middle class![/quote]

Well, we are in America, and class and income are more intertwined and flexible than in some other places.  If we aren't talking about income/wealth, then who cares about having a defined middle class?  What is that definition useful for?  [/quote]
