If the US has no classes, why do we think of ourselves as upper class, middle class, or lower class. I agree that class is really a state of mind. My Mom used to say that it costs little to be clean, and live with a little dignity. I think Larry (HealHustler) has it right when he says, "I would rather be happy than dignified". You have heard of shabby chic of course. Well that is living with a little panache for not a lot of money.
True we do not have class by blood lines, but society is layered none the less.
