I've always felt that, more so with other groups, working-class white people have the hardest time with wealthy white people as opposed to wealthy blacks, Latinos, or Asians. Granted, every group has examples of "crabs in the barrel syndrome," but this is a little different. I remember seeing poor white classmates and co-workers get ANGRY when they saw another white person in a nicer car, bigger house, etc. Other groups just tend to get jealous and keep it inside.

I saw a lot of this growing up and I see it less so now (frankly, I don't interact with too many working-class whites these days) and as soon as I read the things the Palins were saying about the McCains it all sounded mighty familiar.
