Yeah, and to some degree, this feeling is what a lot of reactionary and anti establishment parties are doing well off of at the moment. Growing inequality means that there's a lot of votes for political parties on the far left and right whose solution to this is basically 'destroy everything'.
I suspect fears of this are also why 'identity politics' has become a scourge in the last few years or so. Why immigration is often used as the fear of the moment. Why so much of the media tries to paint people as bigots.
Because things were getting quite bad against the 1% beforehand, with stuff like Occupy being a good example. Getting people to turn against each other over gender, race, personal hobbies and interests, religion and minor social differences diverts the anger to targets that don't threaten them.
