Ok this is how different things are between the working class and

the middle class.

And no, if you ask me, I am not MIDDLE CLASS m'kay?

My brother is visiting. I love my brother. He is a very successful doctor and makes a good living, and I do not begrudge him that. But here is where things are so different. He is driving to see a friend of his downtown. He is taking the 20 something car that my dad got. He said, you guys don't have a GPS?

My answer... no, we don't have those luxuries.... (truth be told the I-PHONE hubby got to replace his six year old phone does, but not like I can let him take it... hubby needs his phone)

His words... it is not a luxury and many cars have them these days...

Now that exchange summarizes the difference in thinking. For me a GPS IS a luxury... for him it is a necessity. And if the phone did not have it.... well you know what I mean... not rushing to get one for the car either.

And there have been many other little details that show to me the chasm in the thinking of the two social classes, and yes there is a class war...

Oh and he is also part of the working class the way he describes conditions where he works, but I will not go there... lets say they could all benefit from an old fashioned UNION...
