 | | For example, you've been a member of the black upper class all your life and you went to Princeton, you went to the Harvard Law school. | | | And we were talking about the fact that blacks -- the black upper class financed a lot of the Civil Rights Movement. | | | You went to Wall Street to practice law. |

| | True to our Pilgrim and Virginia tobacco farmer antecedents, true to the articles of faith of a nation built by scrapers and confidence men and the hopeless poor and deranged and criminal and visionary, we are a society where class---your origins, your breeding, your ancestry---doesn't matter. | | | Old Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt made himself a fortune and sailed on his yacht to England, entourage in tow, yet he was ridiculed as a classless nabob and shunned at Court: 150 years later his descendants rule the Class roost---or at least one rung of it, anyway. | | | JFK famously quipped of his sweating, blinkered opponent Nixon "that guy has no class"---but what is it, exactly? |

| | A Study of Social Class |
| | Education is vitally important to the Upper-middles, and one truly cannot be ranked a member without at least a 4-year degree from a tier-one school, and preferably a post-graduate degree. | | | The Underclasses are made up of lunatics, wanderers, petty criminals, drug addicts, recently arrived illegal immigrants, jailbirds, etc. They generally have little means of social support. | | | Parents who were themselves raised to be upper class will almost assuredly, by instinct, raise their children (directly or through a nanny) to be the same. |

| | A class war is indeed brewing in the halls of Congress, a war of the would-be aristocracy against everyone else. | | | The Republicans, servants of the upper class, are the revolutionaries who started it. | | | Radical tax cuts on dividend income are well nigh useless for their stated purposes, boosting the economy or creating jobs, but they serve the real purposes of the Republican party very well. |
