There are no classes in America.

Oh there he is.

You’re seriously telling me that suburban dwelling family of four is the same as an inner city single mother raising two kids?

The whole point about classes is that different people have different outlooks based entirely on their socioeconomic situation you can’t pretend that doesn’t exist just because it’s not nice.

Yes. They are both working class. They both have to work to get money to live. They are both far more similar to each other than to a billionaire. The owning class doesn’t work for a living, they own for a living. They own things that let them take money from working class people.

There’s not just two classes, there working class, middle class, and upperclass, which I suppose you could call the owning class.

Yes the middle class also work, so perhaps a better name for the working class would be the laboring class, the names are not important, but the point is that working-class people tend disproportionately to have blue-collar jobs, and middle class people tend to have white collar jobs. They tend to work shorter hours for more money, and so have more disposable income.

Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean it exists.
