[Lord Nikon]

Actually zing, my previous post was entirely based on the actual USAGE of the term 'underclass' not an attempt to label anybody as such. The concept of describing someone as 'underclass' raised my ire on it's own although I did refer to inherited money wastrels.

My reasoning?
Albert Einstein - a patent clerk, certifiable genius, contributed a lot to physics (Even if general relativity is demonstrably wrong)
Thomas Alva Edison - used to sell candy and newspapers on a train.

both could be described as being from the 'underclass'

Conversely -

Paris Hilton - inherited millionairess, arguably 'priviliged' - famous for flashing, being on sex tapes, taking columbian marching powder, and having the intellectual capacity of a pickled egg.
