Isn't it about time we dropped (at least for the purposes of political argument) this archaic vocabulary with all its historical baggage, and talked simply about earning levels,? Of course it is still true that there are different attitudes among different social groups toward, for example,, education,abercrombie paris, but keeping the old class definitions seems to invite complacency: as people become more affluent, they are also likely to become more socially confident and more inclined to have aspirations for their children,moncler. The old class labels only serve to entrench self-defeating prejudices about one's "place" in an out-dated heirarchy,moncler.

In the US "middle class" means middle income – which is to say,, people whose earnings really are in the mathematical middle of the range: neither very low nor very high,moncler pas cher. In other words it means ordinary working people: those in either blue collar or white collar clerical jobs (as opposed to higher professional ones),abercrombie france. This is how the term is used both by politicians and real people,. So the new Obama policies will be aimed at those making "under 85,abercrombie and fitch,000 dollars a year",. All very clear and unambiguous,.

In Britain on the other hand,, "middle class" means "bourgeois" with all the Marxist connotations,doudoune moncler. Thus it can apply to even very, very wealthy people who are regarded as "middle class" rather than "upper class" simply because they have no aristocratic connections, or because their inherited wealth is quite recent &#8211,doudoune moncler pas cher; originating,doudoune moncler pas cher, say, in nineteenth century trade,michael kors. This makes the whole discussion of class and the economic policies that favour one class over another, vastly more complicated,. Then there is the additional complication that the concept of class also contains a cultural element which is quite separate from wealth: it is possible to be "middle class" culturally and quite poor (what used to be known as "genteel poverty"), or "working class" culturally and quite affluent. It is this last aspect of the morass that inclines Left-liberals to classify all those fortunate enough to have educationally ambitious parents as "privileged" even if they have relatively little money.



Reading this account of policy proposals planned by the Obama administration to help the "middle class",abercrombie france, the difference between the sense that Americans give to that term and the British definition becomes strikingly clear.

In Britain the phrase "middle class&quot,abercrombie and fitch; has almost Marxist connotations (Photo: Getty Images)
