        I lived in the UK for several years. I agree with the author's title assertion. Class has been dissolved in the UK much more than in US IMO

        think of the current differential between rich and poor in the US and also the constant racial walls.

        In a nutshell, working class voted in corrupt GOP resulting in policies heavily biased to the 1%, & it's all the fault of college-educated?

        Good article, tough call. How could anyone agree to pay more taxes if we know in the US they won't be used for social services?

        1. How do you account for regional differences? Many of the 2-20% live in high cost areas such as silicon valley, places also the 1% live.

        2. $200K household income easily achievable for 2-income families in Silicon Valley. But given housing costs, still middle class lifestyle

        3. Legacy preference is tied to alumni givings. Those do add up. If no preference, only super rich will donate to have buildings named after

        4. Working and saving hard to help own children achieve better future is a virtue, not a vice. And definitely shouldn't be demonized.

        5. Social immobility also caused by government policies. Yet US working class have consistently voted against their own economic interests.
