"upper class"? As in aristocrats? Old money? I don't really think so. Maybe upper middle class.

  We don't have aristocrats in the US. The term refers to people with wealthy backgrounds.

    The Kennedys and Bushes disagree with that assertion. ;)

    Sure you do, you just call them dynasties. edit - There is loads of European aristocracy in power in the US. "The frequency with which royal blood has found its way into the White House is much higher than the share of the American population with links to British or European monarchs, which is estimated at less than 5 percent. In short, American Presidents have been at least six times more likely to have royal blood than the people who elected them." http://www.nytimes.com/1988/07/05/us/bush-they-say-is-indeed-a-connecticut-yankee-from-king-henry-s-court.html http://www.nytimes.com/1988/07/05/us/bush-they-say-is-indeed...
