Are people ashamed to admit that they are upper class?

1. I sorta feel sorry for them.

They all seem so tired looking with those droopy eyes.

6. I don't deny it, I'm fairly upper class.

But I also used to be fucking poor and I don't ever forget my roots. Probably because it was so painful, and I am intimately aware of how important luck was in changing my life for the better.

I pay my taxes, make donations, contribute to liberal Democrats, and I'm not as well-off as the mansioned sociopaths that live near me, but I'm okay with that. And I've no plan to leave the USA, LEAST of all to avoid paying taxes.

2. It's a trend in American culture...

Everyone, top to bottom is taught that "the middle class" defines America. So everyone tends to identify themselves as middle class; from the dude living in a camper on his friend's property, to the people who make an ugly-ass hosueboat wirth three million, they're all "middle class" if you ask them.

8. Formerly a $3 million houseboat... now a $3 million submarine.

10. I prefer to think of it as a "luxury piscean-style habitation center"

Christ, that thing was so ugly even a Soviet architect would have to be like "damn!"

7. I have observed a lot of wealthy people up close.

In most cases if there is a group of people with more money than you, you tend to think you are middle class. If you have great wealth, you don't speak of it publicly.

9. Maybe. But, it's kinda unusual for them to give away their fortunes to avoid the "guilt".
