Obviously, there are different thoughts but the bottomline is that we are not a classless society. Fortunately, we aren't bound to a class and we are free to move up and down the classes as we see fit and how fortune rewards us.

I believe you could take almost any college Sociology book and find what I told you in the above post.

You haven't figured it out, yet, have your? I have taught college sociology. The validity of imposing European class terminology on American society has always been a major issue.

Most people here are opposed to socialism, communism, and class warfare. They don't understand that adopting the terminology of class is opening the door to that. Read Sociology in Wikipedia if you think I am exaggerating. I believe that it is also explicitly unconstitutional, (I think the constitution bans all titles) though I have not had a chance to look that up.

Before 1964 certainly black Americans constituted a separate class. That is as far as I will go. Calling arbitary income groups classes os not only wrong, it is subversive.
