Perhaps Americans don't understand how a class system works in the same way as you do in the UK - but don't fool yourself to think that there is no class system here. And somehow I'm pretty sure that class doesn't necessarily denote a universal outlook on life no matter where you live. I just don't buy that.
And I come from a family that has both very rich and very poor people in it. And the very rich members seem every bit as miserable (if not more) as the rest of us, lol.
