No it is not the UK with its publicized lords.

It is the USA with the largest gap between the rich and poor in the world. Our lords are virtually invisible in American society.
To ensure this class society, great efforts to deny a college education to the poor and middle class has proceeded steadily for the last 30 years.

Now the fruits of the priviledged are heavy on the tree. In 2008 the largest graduating HS class in US history will produce 4 million students that qualify for college education but will be unable to afford a 4 year school. 2 million will be unable to afford any college. The PELL grants used to provide an average of 68% of a students college funds but today it will cover an average of 33%.

Underpriviledged students unable to afford college education will be ballooning to 60 million over the next 10 years.

The priviledged class will create all the lawyers, judges, politicians and well paid professions for the next 3 generations.

Again, this is not to say it has not always been the case but just as with election fraud, the scope and all inclusiveness of a caste control over the masses in the USA is now titanic.
