131. The Bushes are New England old money.
Aside from that, though, I think you may be onto something about how class issues must be brought into sharper focus. I don't know that it would require something as drastic as Great Depression II, though. Perhaps having at least one national party willing to talk about class issues would do it. I can understand why Republicans don't want to do that, but I cannot for the life of me understand why Democrats do not.

If you think about it, America has the only "Left" in the world that could not care less about class. It's the ugly legacy of the so-called "New Left," and it's what gave America Nixon, Reagan, and two Bushes.
