The Pew Foundation discovered in a recent【C1】______that tensions over inequality in wealth now【C2】______tensions over race and immigration. But income inequality isn’t really the problem. A new upper class is the problem. And their wealth isn’t what sets them【C3】______or creates so much【C4】______toward them.
Let’s take a guy—call him Hank—who built a successful auto-repair business and【C5】______it to 30 locations, and now his【C6】______in the business is worth $100 million. He went to a second-tier state university, or maybe he didn’t complete college at all. He grew up in a working-class or middle-class home and married a woman who didn’t complete college, either. He now lives in a neighborhood with other rich people, but they’re mostly other people who got rich the same way he did. He has a lot of money, but he doesn’t have power or influence over national culture, politics or economy,【C7】______does he even have any particular influence over the culture, politics or economy of the city where he lives. He’s just rich.
The new upper class is different. It consists of the people who run the country. By " the people who run the country," I mean a small【C8】______of people—well under 100,000, by a【C9】______definition—who are【C10】______for the films and television shows you watch, the news you see and read, the success(or failure)of the nation’s leading corporations and financial institutions and the jurisprudence, legislation and regulations produced by government.
What makes the new upper class new is that its members not only have power and influence but also increasingly【C11】______a common culture that【C12】______them from the rest of the country. Fifty years ago, the people who rose to the most influential positions overwhelmingly had Hank’s kind of【C13】______, thoroughly【C14】______in the American mainstream. They have【C15】______tastes and preferences and seek out enclaves of others who share them. Their culture【C16】______little with the lifestyle or the popular culture of the rest of the nation; in fact, members of the new upper class increasingly【C17】______that mainstream lifestyle and culture. If this divide continues to widen, it will completely destroy【C18】______has made America’s national civic culture【C19】______: a fluid,【C20】______society where people from different backgrounds live side by side and come together for the common good.
