we don't actually have an upper-class in America, per se

What makes you think that? There certainly is an upper class in this country. They just tend to stay out of sight.

If I understand it correctly, in Europe and Britain, the actual Upperclass is Royalty and Nobility. Our Founding Fathers rejected that for America, so technically we have upper middle class at the top of our social structure.

Some of them simply think they are royalty and nobility and the rest of us are just serfs.

Drive through Harrison, NY or New Canaan, CT.

What do you see, compared with driving through Beverly Hills or Grosse Pointe?

Nothing, that's what. THAT'S upper class.
