I am doing an assignment where I have to create a social pyrimid that represents the wealth, social classes, and rankings of american social classes based on the famous capitalist pyramid below:

http://seregaborzov.files.wordpress.com/2007/02/pyramid_of_capitalist_system.png

(if this doesnt work, just type in capitalist pyrimid in google)
I need to have creative little sayings like "we work for you, we eat for you" etc and come up with classes more detailed than just poor middle and high, something like beggars, artists, workers, entrepreuners, etc.
If i only had 5-6 different classes to describe everybody in america as, which ones should i use?

"My plan to turn our economy around has four components: creating the new, good jobs essential to broad-based prosperity; restoring fairness to our economy; renewing the basic bargain that if you work hard, you can get ahead; and putting our fiscal house in order again. I will help create opportunity for those left out during the Bush years while shifting the cost of the changes we need to those special interests that have gotten a free ride."

If someone you know is claiming to be a retired military officer are they committing an offence?

Is it only impersonating an officer if they dress up in a uniform and go to events etc??

What about if they just tell simple stories (not claiming to be this great hero or whatever, but just that they were there with a certain unit etc. and they were the officer in charge etc..)

If they just claim they have been an officer in the British armed forces and tell a few close friends who believe them but never use the deception to gain anything or to better their position etc. Are they still committing an offence? If so, how serious and how do you (or should you) report them? Would a quiet word telling them I know the truth be better seeing as they haven't done anything more than claimed to have served and been to certain places etc.?? But are not wearing the uniform or pretending to be a specfic person? If the deed is purely for an ego trip and not with any malicious intent?

does little to mention the success in Iraq since the surge took place? Deaths of US soldiers is down to 29 this month, as opposed to a high this year of 120 in one month, pre surge. IED and suicide attacks are down some 60-70% since the surge. Hundreds of thousands Iraqi refugees are returning to Iraq because it's safer. Yet the only place you'll likely hear about this success, is FOX news, while the liberal leaning media is virtual silent. Unless something even remotely bad happens in Iraq, then the liberal media is out in force reporting non stop.

using DNC supporters and campaign members to ask questions to Republicans was the final straw.
Americans have grown tired of the biased, left-wing, DNC-operative press.

FACT:

Open air hydrocarbon fuel fires, whose only source of oxygen is still air, cannot supply enough oxygen to a combustion reaction to drive temperatures above 250 C. In very strong winds, and with very well mixed fuels (atomized fuel droplets), you might get up to 600 C, but no open air fires have been recorded at temperatures above 650 C.

If you don't believe me, then you can try it for yourself. Measure the flame temperature of an open air fire with a pyrometer or a thermal imaging camera. Try to get liquid aluminium dripping off some solid aluminium or aluminium foil, using an open air fire. (Melting point of aluminium is 550 C). Try this yourself.

Ok, now explain where all the molten steel came from!

"Hillary’s baby bond proposal would give $5,000 to each of the 4-million babies born in the U.S. each year, totaling $20-billion per year, multiplied by four years = $80-billion."
Republican National Committee on Monday, November 26th, 2007 in a Web site.

Truth-O-Meter rated RNC attack as False.

IF RNC can't correctly attack her than how are any of the other Republicans going to? Isn't RNC supposed to be GOP central for Bash Hillary intelligence.

Today I looked at my checking account summary and it said earlier this week a deposit of $2,387.24 was added to my account. I did not make this deposit. I don't even have that kind of money. Can someone tell me what's going on? Does someone have my account information? When i call the bank, how do I prove that the money is not mine?

I got a speeding ticket (64 mph in a 55 mph zone) in North Carolina. I did not sign the acknowledgment section before the police officer left. Now I am better bombarded with numerous letters from area attorneys wanting to represent me. Is it worth having their representation? How can I beat this ticket?
