Money does not make class.

We don’t have an aristocracy in this country- this is true although I have met visiting heads of state through my environmental volunteer work- which would fit into many peoples definition of " upper class", and very cordial and friendly they were too.
It is an axiom that the better bred, are more gracious than the rest of us.

I am not wealthy, but have met many people and have close acquaintances of some that I daresay even Jasoninny would consider " upperclass".

A true test of your character, is how you treat those that you do not have anything to gain from, as well as those that you disagree with ( in business or politically for example), but can be quite friendly to other wise.

Manners are about making other people comfortable.
