Do you think, in practice, that most Americans judge someone's class by their net worth or by their behavior?

If you're on a career track that could see you making 6 figures, and so are your peers, then yeah that probably seems like a totally normal income. Leads to a hell of a blind spot though.

I'd say 150k family income is probably the point where you switch to full on booj. You may not have "wealth" but you would if you weren't busy maintaining such a lavish lifestyle. Edit: actually no, gently caress y'all. It's a lot lower than that. Volkerball fucked around with this message at 09:25 on Dec 23, 2016 |

Yeah, I might have phrased my question wrong but this is what I figure. I think a lot of Americans hit the technical, on-paper definition of upper class way before they would actually start thinking of themselves as rich.

In 2005, in the midst of a career of traveling around the world to help set up elections in some of the most challenging places on earth – Afghanistan, Burma, Egypt, Lebanon, South Africa, Sudan and Yemen, among others – my Danish colleague, Jorgen Elklit, and I designed the first comprehensive method for evaluating the quality of elections around the world. Our system measured 50 moving parts of an election process and covered everything from the legal framework to the polling day and counting of ballots. In 2012 Elklit and I worked with Pippa Norris of Harvard University, who used the system as the cornerstone of the Electoral Integrity Project. Since then the EIP has measured 213 elections in 153 countries and is widely agreed to be the most accurate method for evaluating how free and fair and democratic elections are across time and place. When we evolved the project I could never imagine that as we enter 2017, my state, North Carolina, would perform so badly on this, and other, measures that we are no longer considered to be a fully functioning democracy. In the just released EIP report, North Carolina’s overall electoral integrity score of 58/100 for the 2016 election places us alongside authoritarian states and pseudo-democracies like Cuba, Indonesia and Sierra Leone. If it were a nation state, North Carolina would rank right in the middle of the global league table – a deeply flawed, partly free democracy that is only slightly ahead of the failed democracies that constitute much of the developing world. Indeed, North Carolina does so poorly on the measures of legal framework and voter registration, that on those indicators we rank alongside Iran and Venezuela. When it comes to the integrity of the voting district boundaries no country has ever received as low a score as the 7/100 North Carolina received. North Carolina is not only the worst state in the USA for unfair districting but the worst entity in the world ever analyzed by the Electoral Integrity Project.
