I can't understand the clannish mentality so many seem to apply to this issue. It's like "OK, I made it aboard, so you can pull up the gang-plank now?". Why?

Why would I suddenly dis-associate with any of my former working class peers just because ( IF ) I became rich? I could understand a sterile worldview if I was born rich, but then even that shouldn't stop someone from thinking things through to the long view. Being a rich man in a poor country might be rewarding right now but it's immoral, and makes for a destructively unstable situation which would be bad for everyone, rich or not.
