    Rob, we've beaten this one up pretty hard elsewhere so I am reluctant to rehash it here. But since I don't really buy into social class to start with I wouldn't know where to begin. Suffice to say I would base it on the system you would design before knowing when or where you would land in it. My personal view is that we provide a safety net floor but don't unduly inhibit activities that allow the whole system to rise and improve living standards.
    I was twelve when I understood about social classes and the basics of how they work in America. No one had to tell me anything - growing up poor yet being somewhat intelligent I was able to figure this out on my own. I bet you never ran across another 13 year old who would spend time at the library - this was in the days before the Internet - spending hours doing research comparison shopping their citizenship against other countries. But yes, I was thirteen when I started doing this. This is not a function of intelligence, just a function of seeing things with no loyalty and being able to cut through all the BS to what's at the core. Unfortunately in some ways I have been cursed with this ability, it's not the most pleasant thing to have, trust me on this. Rob
