My upbringing was middle class, my father was a union worker(plumber, pipe/steamfitter). I was the only child that didn't go to a tech college, I went to a very small, very liberal school(Marlboro College)
Perhaps when I refer to the "masses", I sound like I'm not part of them. I am, and need to give credit that there are bright and dim witted people in each of the social classes
When I worked doing swimming pools in the Hamptons and Montauk, I encountered "class" for the first time. There was no question I was the working class, a servant to the owners
