[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Part of the problem here is the term "class" has as much to do with culture, connections, and family as it does it income.  Most of the commenters here are really debating about levels of income or wealth (those terms are different but related) and not the broader term of class.  However, even if using class as a proxy for wealth and income, there really needs to be a distinction between "wealthy" and truly upper class and all that comes with.  [/quote]

Who in the US would be upper class though? I can think of Chappy Morris. Who else?![/quote]

There is no upper class in the US. None.[/quote]

I think Americans associate the idea of an upper class with the old aristocracies of England and Europe.  It's kind of offensive to the "American idea."  So nobody wants to identify with it.  Most just think it's basically billionaires, CEOs and celebrities.  [/quote]

I am from Asia and we phased out aristocracy 120 years ago. upper class in modern context is usually associated with ugly Manchurian lords and nothing positive 😂 rich, however is mostly associated with positive things like access to luxury and financial freedom. [/quote]
