Hi! Just thought I'd add my 2 cents regarding "class". When I studied sociology ..way back when..we were told a person's class was determined by his/her a)education b) income c) family background and d) lifestyle. The truth is most Americans and Canadians ARE middle class. Some may have a higher income or a higher education ...but we all fall somewhere along the same spectrum. Because of our open societies, there is much movement and interaction between lower middle, middle middle and upper middle.
