Alright, even families where parents have "good" jobs, often are working 60 hours a week to afford a home in a "good" school district.
And they're perfectly set up to be against those on welfare, against those perceived as trying less hard, etc, etc.
I mean, for the family with the "good" jobs, it seems like their whole life situation should be working, but it's not quite working.
With the parent(s) working long hours, more money on eating out and other similar expenses. Less time for fighting with the cell phone company and shopping for a better deal. Not really enough time to review a potential mutual fund three times and zen it. Maybe only time to review it once or twice.
And maybe, actually somewhat over-extended for this "good" school district. And of course less time with the family.
If this issue of rich school-poor school was solved in the 1970s, you avoid a big, big source of upper middle-class resentment.
