[quote=Anonymous]The issue here is that no matter how much lip service Americans give to egalitarianism, deep down they still judge class by breeding and behavior. That’s why you have people earning $300K feeling like they’re solidly middle class. If they are working 60 hours a week for someone else to earn that money, with $100k of student loan debt from being the first person in their family to graduate college on their backs, they kind of are. A century ago no one would have raised an eyebrow talking about the wealthy middle class, or the impoverished upper class. These days the only acceptable way to talk about class is in terms of raw income and it leads to a lot of cognitive dissonance. [/quote]
