I don't know. I grew up just west of Chicago in a very much blue collar town. While we weren't destitute, we were in the lower end of the low middle class. I'm still poorer than most people I know, while my husband works for the federal government, his job is in danger of being privatized (he's a firefighter
), I have a very modest house, am driving a 15 year old POS, do not have a college education and have never thought of myself as elitist.
