[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First time posting here, but, I don't understand why people who consider themselves blue-collar would take offense at the term "working class"?  To me, that sounds higher than blue collar?  (?)  I mean, what's offensive about suggesting that one has to work to live?  Nothing.  (???)  [/quote]

"Blue collar" describes the type of work (trade). Working "class" is tinged by class issues, implies not "middle class," which everyone wants to be! If working class is "suggesting that one has to work to live" then why aren't "white collar" folks considered "working class"? No, you don't want that? Get it now?[/quote]

Not really.  DH and I are both white collar and pretty much work ourselves to death, so yeah, I'd consider us working class.  Shrug.  To me:  working class means anyone who works. Then, you  have two categories within that : white collar and blue collar.

Above all these folks are people who don't have to work, like trust fund mega-rich people with old family homes in Newport.[/quote]
