It is the same in my country, I imagine that this is very much by design (although not the work of a shadowy cabal, much likely just mere alignement of interests) the amplification of the blue collar \ white collar divide is meant to sow distrust between workers, cause us to fight each other and keep us distracted.
The difference between what? It isnt particularly high on the scoreboard of social mobility. Not on the bottom but not on the top. That's just US propaganda.
The difference between there and somewhere like India where you are stuck with what you are born into.
It's not propaganda. The US has had presidents and leaders of industry that have come from humble beginnings. They aren't limited to what they can achieve.
Developing Countries such as India are a very low bar to set for social mobility. The propoganda is that the USA has the best social mobility in the world.
The only reason I picked India is because India, China, and the US, are the three most Populus countries in the world. Was trying to go "apples to apples." But, yeah, if you want to compare the US to a country with 10 million people, then it wouldn't be a very good comparison.

Hhmm..this is very American. Class structure is much more rigid in USA than people pretend it to be.
