- I thought we had a class system in the US. We just say that it's not determined by the class you were born into and that you can move up or down.
- Class does affect our everyday lives, as she explains. I have this quote that I like: "It's not shameful to be poor, but it is shameful to be dirty." Basically, it seems that many poor people are very dirty as well. It doesn't have to be that way. Soap is cheap.
- This makes me think of that old TV show, the Beverly Hillbillies where the poor, white trash family hits oil and becomes rich. The joke is that yes, they have lots of money now, but they're still white trash.
