I lot of society's ills are blamed on the common man. Never the elite.

  The elite are just common men with money & power, no?

    They are but they don’t think of themselves as common people except for the very aware few.

    Studies have demonstrated that money & power (same thing at a certain point really) reduce a person's capabilities for empathy. If you consider "EQ" a thing, you could say power makes people "dumber" in this sense. So no, common folk with money & power are different from common folk without, especially when confronted with the other.
