I think I get your overall point, but you state it poorly. I

No, you don’t get my point. You’re responding with anecdote, and making a category mistake. I’m not talking about class mobility in the least, I’m talking about the level or real wages for people in those classes. If they move from one class to another, then they’re no longer in that class.

The US, however, has much lower economic mobility than many other nations— that, too, has slowed and stagnated.
