I didn't realise they had a class system in the States too. |
I'm not sure we do, or at least in the U.S. I think class is more a reflection of education and social maturity than one of lineage and wealth. I know a whole lot of poor people who are more educated, intelligent and have far more couth than many hyper-wealthy people such as athletes, celebrities and people who inherited their money rather than earned it.
BTW, I would put myself in the 'pulled myself up by the bootstraps' category - I lived in public housing (HUD) as a child and can remember standing in line with my mother for government cheese and milk and shopping at Goodwill and the Salvation Army. But thanks to a strong family work ethic, some encouraging teachers and friends, and a small amount of financial aid from Uncle Sam I now have several college degrees and a well-compensated professional career. In terms of class, I would say I now know it's best to cover one's mouth while belching, and preferably to do it discreetly and outside the earshot of others.

Class of 97
Oh, wait. I'm not sure. Please define boundaries and requirements. I might be upper higher class if we consider that most of my possesions are useless items that are mostly for leisure activities like a gigantic cd collection that few actual rich guys have. But I'll be quite low class if we check my bank account. Which is strongly related to my previous point.

If non-essential possessions are the measure of a man, then class is inversely proportional to the size of flat-screen TV you own. |
Class is knowing when to turn the damn tv off when there are visitors in your house
