Because everyone is terrified of sliding out out of the middle class, let alone staying in the upper class. In the US, poverty = shame and personal failing. It's fucked up, but there ya go.[/quote]

Why is that fucked up? My parents paid for me to have an excellent college education. If I were somehow to become impoverished, I would be ashamed and would have failed (?)[/quote]

I was born into an upper middle class family: doctors, lawyers, scientists for generations. Then family moved to America in a family emergency and left behind everything that our family had earned: land and a great home, valuable things. I refused to study hard like my parents insisted, so today I am broke. My sister has always studied and worked hard, and I know she will succeed and remain a cosmopolitan lady e though she Wont have an inheritance from our parents.

I have a lot of respect for folks who studied hard, work hard.and I able to open many doors for their kids. I hope your guys kids appreciate what you do for them.[/quote]
