Because in America there are no hard coded social classes into our societal framework. The closest thing we have to that are the divide between the wealthy and the not so wealthy, and even then there are no social obligations in either. We’re a gargantuan union with more landmass than most countries on the entire planet. The only country that has more land than us is Russia. The idea since the inception of the country was for the white settlers to spread out and do essentially whatever. There is no concept of place, rank, or role, just in making your own way. This is why American leftists advocate so much for “eating the rich” and “taxing billionaires” and it’s because sheer fiscal is really the only thing close enough towards a societally ingrained “upper class” that we have. We are a union created without kings nor nobility and it shows. There is no aristocracy, no “high society”.
