Grace, I consider such things as a good education for one's self and one's children, savings, living in a low-crime neighborhood, etc to be necessities. I have lived in expensive parts of the US, but do not now, so perhaps my psyche has been a bit warped... but actually, I'm somewhat of an ascetic. Still, the have/have-not delineation should be based on net worth rather than income, IMO. A proletariat is defined as one who does not own the means of production, and so has to work for a living. The vast majority of Americans meet this description, despite their bourgeois pretensions.
