Estabrook writes

"A good illustration of an important but occluded fact of political life in the US: the political class -- roughly, the 20% of the population who attended good colleges -- are taught to despise the 80% (as "dumb people who believe in superstitious nonsense"), with whom their interests in fact coincide. Instead, they're taught to identify with that small fraction of 1% who actually own the country, whose interests are opposed to those of the vast majority. --CGE "

And this is different in other countries?
