Goal oriented vs feelgood protest events

5. The American class system really simplified looks something like this:

Super-rich (Romney)
Old-money (George W. Bush)
New-money (techi-boom)
Upper middle-class (well-to-do white collar professionals)
Middle-class (white-collar professionals)
Lower-middle-class (blue-collar professionals)
Working poor (blue-collar)
Poor (lower blue-collar)
The Occasional Homeless (living in cars/motels)
The Homeless (living on the streets)

I made all of this up on my own and there is probably some disagreement about my characterizations. I wouldn't worry too much about it all. People like to divide the 99%, but really that's not Occupy is supposed to be about and I rather resent (as a liberal progressive) attempts to divide the 99% along class lines for no useful purpose.

My family for example probably falls into the upper middle-class and middle-class at very points in time (the recession has hurt us).
