It's always been a double standard. There's a list of things that are 'classy' if you're rich and 'trashy' if you're poor.

Like day drinking. Speaking two languages. Having someone else raise your kids. Getting money from the government.

Flipping the script would challenge a base idea of capitalism: that the wealthy create jobs and bring economic prosperity to the masses. And we can't have that.
