According to The New York Times, Class Matters, are the majority of Americans disturbed that they will never be a part of the elite class?

While everyone is fascinated by the rich and famous, most Americans are not in that elite class and know they never will be. It doesn’t disturb most people; all they want is the chance for a slice of the pie albeit a smaller one. Most Americans believe they are in the middle class although they aspire to climb a few rungs higher up the ladder. They also have the hope that their children will have more success than they do.
