How much do you think social class matters in the U.S. today?
I believe that social class really only exists in politics and the entertainment industry. When you are rich you are more likely to be elected for a political position or chosen for a movie role. In everyday life, however, people don't particularly notice that you are low class or middle class. Maybe it's just me, I choose not to hold people's financial situations against them. Unless you look specifically like you are poor, not many people are going to notice. The only time that I have noticed when a person is of a high social class is when, at a baseball game or event and there are the "special" box seats that they sit in.
I do believe that to a certain group of people, the higher classes, that social class matters in the U.S. That when they shop at Tysons 2 instead of just Tysons. I really think that social class only matters to a small portion of people in the general public.
