There is no sense of class in the United States. Why we all are middle class, whether you make 20K and are single, or 250K and have a family of four. We all are middle class.
In reality our 20K earning single person is a member of the working class and our 250k earning family of four is a member of the upper middle class, in cheaper markets a member of the wealthy classes. (Taking into account NYC and Los Angeles). But by a feat of propaganda both call themselves middle class..it can't be, it is not...but this is how peope self identify. And of course our 20K earning fictional worker is the next Bill Gates.
Ain't propaganda great?
And until the 20K earning worker stops seeing himself the same as our 250K family of four, who for the record does not, nothing will really change. A sense of class in the classic sense needs to come back.
