Not disagreeing, but what does mention of classes have to do with nobility? Couldn't it just be reference to everyday economic or social classes?
Oh, I don't know.
A:Upper class.Nobility and those who scam their way into elected office.
B:Lower class.The rest of us.
I did forget a part of the upper class. Academics that have never been forced to deal with reality but consider themselves on a higher plane somehow.Bill and Hillary come to mind as do most liberal democrats.
