It was a 1AM thought, but I think I meant it more in the area that… our moral/political/ethical beliefs are often a part of class separation, more often than not. They might not really define it, but they’re a part of what make us one or the other beyond just monetary/social status. Part of being blue collar or being a “rich old white man” (*cough* really general demographics, but you get the point) is being Dem vs. Rep in the eyes of statistics. Part of being middle class is being on a more middle ground many times. It’s just an interesting general correlation, I think. Definitely doesn’t hold up – but I find it amusing that we try so much in America to be a unified nation by defeating stereotypes and class standards, only to separate each other further. Perhaps not on a power/monetary standard, but in a social or psychological standard? I’d bet there’s more separation between real-ness in people than there ever has been before. And maybe you can’t exactly call that “class” – but it’s something. *shrug*
