What if we could "out" the elites?

Suppose that we could "out" the top policy wonks and leaders of both parties. My guess is that we would see a Democratic elite that views poor people with more disgust than sympathy. And I suspect that we would see a Republican elite that finds religious fervor more disturbing than congenial.

That's economist Arnold Kling commenting on something from Ross Douthat. I'll buy that in general. Which is more objectionable? Is it more objectionable to exploit the poor or the fervently religious?
