^^^^^ CB: Yes, Americans are famous for "favoring the underdog" , supposedly. Americans certainly know about the "rich", and the other colloquialisms mentioned. At a more technical level, they don't think in terms of "classes" in the class struggle sense, and as you say, they aren't up for such a struggle much. _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
