Is classism the new racism?

I dont have class.

Why? Because a “class” refers to a whole social class in society.

No one has “class.” They can be “classy” but they cannot have class. Class = social status for our purposes on this thread.

Why arent the rich mobsters upper class? Are they any different from the aristocrats who exploit workers and commit white collared crimes? A crime is a crime. I just want to point out that only the top top top mobster will earn any kind of money. The mid and lower tiered guys get paid less than minimal wage. The average drug dealer earns about $5 dollars an hour.

These mobsters are upper class because they pay more taxes than you ideal polite man who earns below poverty line. They support many many many poor people who mooch off their income and state taxes. They support government jobs. They prime the global economy by spending the money- the whole point of laundering money is so you can spend it…
