Did you know that we have more than three classes in America--there are four.?

Question

There is the upperclass, middleclass and lowerclass. Nobody ever wants to mention the underclass--people that live on less than, I think it's 25,000 dollars a year. What do you think of this?

There are subdivisions in the classes, yes.

I wish that people didn't look down on others, but they do. I'm all for ignoring the classes, but how can you when no one else does?

Answer 1

yes, i know....i'm very nearly a member of the under under class myself...lol

Answer 2

Wrong. Can't be correst on that figure. That's on the high side of lower class. Underclass would have to be less than $10,000.00 or so.
Which would be considered rich in most third world countries. What do I think of it? It's the American way. A fantastic country where the sky is the limit for everyone, regardless of race or gender or religion. Land of opportunity. The greatest civilization the world has ever seen. Yet there are those who are waiting in the shadows to take this country down for fanatical reasons that make no sense other than plain envy. Meanwhile, we live in a house divided by politics which is also senseless but the enemy loves that. Unless we all wake up and prepare ourselves for the obvious, we will be sorry.
Love and brotherhood to all of you, my fellow Americans.

Answer 3

Fussell's model classifies Americans according to the following classes:

Top out-of-sight: the super-rich, heirs to huge fortunes and wealthy Celebrities
Upper Class: rich CEOs, diplomats, people who can afford full-time domestic staff, and some high salaried, prominent professionals(examples include surgeons and some highly-paid types of lawyers)
Upper-Middle Class: self-made well-educated professionals
Middle Class: office workers
High Prole: skilled blue-collar workers
Mid Prole: workers in factories and the service industry
Low Prole: manual laborers
Destitute: the homeless and disreputable (but still free)
Bottom out-of-sight: those incarcerated in prisons and institutions

Answer 4

Isn't there an upper-middle class? also a lower-middle class...

I guess if we're getting specific we should put those in there to.

I think the underclass is the lowerclass.

Answer 5

I don't know much about that, but what about people who are in the upper class who have so much debt that if you accounted for that perhaps they would be in the lower or underclass? If everyone demanded payment all of a sudden, I mean.

Answer 6

There is the working class and the welfare class, the working poor class, and don't forget the educated class

Answer 7

who cares about class. we shouldn't designate people by them
