[quote=Anonymous]I'm not arguing that the old money person isn't upper class. And if you want to make a distinction between old money and new money, then fine, make it and call 2 million a year lawyer (whom I believe you just changed into a doctor making 1.8 million, but whatever) nouveau riche. But to call a person who is spending 110K (more than the HHI for over 85% of the US) a year on tuition alone "middle" anything is ludicrous. DC or not. Top 1% of earners has a lower boundary around 400K a year, so your example person is only in the "middle" of the top 1%. Even by the extremely broad definition Gilbert gives to upper middle class your person doesn't fit. For all the complaints about FA recipient entitlement, there sure seems to be a lot of class entitlement from posters in the upper strata of earners that is equally offensive. [/quote]
