This thread is about an utter misunderstanding of income and class.

[b]A married prole couple could easily make $100k or more. They're still not middle class.[/b]

A married middle class couple could easily make $200k or more and not be upper middle class.

Until you don't have to work because of your wealth, you're not upper class.

And unless you inherited your wealth, you'll [i]never[/i] be at the top class.[/quote]

If they are not middle class - then what are they???[/quote]

They're the proletariat.

The proletariat differs from the middle class by education, clothing, neighborhood, leisure activities, etc.

One example is with regard to legible clothing; clothes and accessories displaying words or logos. Proles wear sweaters emblazoned with, “Ask me about my grandchildren”, or hats and t-shirts carrying advertising for automotive products or sports franchises. The middle-class, anxious to separate itself from those below and desiring to emphasize their aspirations to climb higher, carries tote bags from NPR with Beethoven’s image, t-shirts with university names or logos, and bags touting expensive shops.[/quote]
