Does Class Exist?
Thanks to globalization of the free market, anyone can become middle class unless they were born poor!
 

Class:
 The goal in the Class category is to achieve Upper Class wealth and power, but to retain Working Class identity! A classic example of this is the hip-hop superstar, who "keeps it real" despite millionaire status by still identifying with the culture of the street! Just because you're rich doesn't mean you have to act rich!

Untouchables:
The untouchable caste in India were once considered less than human. In the modern era, one became President. Aren't you glad that can't happen in the U.S.?



Ownership Society: The middle class keeps getting bigger and bigger, creating what is known as the "Ownership Society." If you aren't an owner, you aren't in society!
