What Determines How Americans Perceive Their Social Class?

Household income and education are strong predictors of Americans' views of what social class they are in, although the terms "lower class" and "upper class" are infrequently used regardless of income or education.

I'm surprised they didn't ask for net worth. That is probably is the highest correlation attribute to social class.

To answer the question..."Why is the middle class disappearing?"

Because its easier to control landless, hungry, masses, who depend on the government/elite/royalty for their sustenance.

I think it's an interesting video. Tough subject to squeeze into 5 minutes. I wonder if he has any more examples that are more recent in time than ancient Greece?

Very few examples exist between the time of ancient Greece and the founding of our Republic. Nations that have a relatively large, thriving middle class are not the historic norm.
