This is a great article but I think it misses the counterpart to the professional class - moderately well-to-do small-business owners, millionaire next door types. I think these are heavily represented in the top 10%. They are not as well-educated, lean much more to the right than the professional class. Economically they identify more with the 0.1% and consider themselves capitalists, but culturally they identify more with the working class.
These two groups seem diametrically opposed to each other, much more so that they are with the actual elite or with the actual working class.
