Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'm quite certain the oligarchs view "yuppies" as serfs too.
 
The yuppie being analogous to a worker bee; an expendable commodity to be consumed for the benefit of the corporate hive. 
 
The yuppie drone willingly twitters away its life in servitude to the hierarchy.  Mindlessly trapped in an endless cycle of consumption. 
 
It commutes to work each morning, inching along in a shiny, leased, four wheeled ethanol blend burning coffin - until it reaches the hive where it slaves away the daylight hours in its cubicle. 
 
After dark, the exhausted yuppie drone returns to its highly prized, stucco-encrusted, ARM financed McMansion prison cell - where images are beamed by satellite onto High Definition Television screens telling the drone that "to consume is to bee happy", and that its possessions and life are inadequate.   If only, the Television says, the drone had the shiny bobbles, the larger stucco prison with a view, the bigger, shinier commuter coffin, the trophy spouse - just like the ones possessed by the "happy" drones displayed on the television, then surely it too would be fulfilled and happy.  If only...
 
The vast majority of them will never know the self-sufficient freedom you enjoy on your farm; and their children will never develop the deep strength of character formed in my wife and her brothers via their struggle to make a living from land worked by their family for nearly 100 years.
