Social Classes

Watched an episode of 30 Days where Morgan and his fiance tried to live on minimum wage for a month which brings up issue of social classes in the United States. It struck a chord with me considering I come from an impoverished family. It brings to light the difficulties of that people struggling to make a living have to deal with. It's hard to put into words what I think of the classes that do exist because I've not lived the life of someone in each different class. I do however despise how easily people are grouped into these classes and the struggle it is for anyone to try and claw their way up the ladder from poor and/or homeless to successful and well off. Depending on where you come from, how you grew up, and several other factors you are grouped with others and are stuck in that position until you make an effort to try and elevate yourself out of it.
