social class in the States?

WW1 killed off the old feudal class system in Britain and Ireland; half were killed off in the trenches, the remainder taxed to extinction with the income tax surcharge introduced by the socialist labour party after WW2 ( more tax than your income) and crippling death duties.

Then we had the 60's & 70's hippy revolution, and the noughties dot com technology revolution.

So it seems that The UK and Ireland have become the 51st state of the US: two cars, two freezers and McDonald's; a classless society.

But I'd like to know ...

Does social class still exist in the USA?
