Riddle Me This

If you did a blind test of two families, and one just got their student loans paid off, and both parents were the products of middle-class homes, with one raised by a single mother and occasionally on food stamps...

And the other family is fabulously wealthy, the wife just made a ton of dough from a major multinational merger involving American and Belgian beer companies, and has been recently quoted as saying "In Arizona, the only way to get around the state is by small private plane"....

Which family would you consider to be the "elitists"?

(The McCain quote, by the way, specifically refers to how to traverse a large state while campaigning, so that's not necessarily the source of the elitism there, it's the fact that Cindy decided to learn how to fly in response to a mild fear of small planes, and then bought her own plane, which is a response that's kind of out of reach to the average American. Also, will the Anheuser-Busch/InBev merger mean that the Belgians can made Budweiser taste a little less like the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth?)
