Social class is everything in the US. We don't talk about it in public, or often in private, really, but it's everything in our daily interactions.
Wealth = status
The appearance of wealth alone gets you a lot of doors opened.
The appearance of poverty will get a lot of doors closed.
We don't talk about it, but it's everywhere. You simply can't miss it.
Like I said, wealth is not the same as class.
In the US, there is much less cap-doffing reverence for someone who is born wealthy than there is here. People respect someone who earns their wealth much more than someone who falls ass backwards into it by being born into the right family.
