I think it's possibly always the latter. My partner thinks the world has become harsher but I think the poor are just more visible to the rest now and the wealthy resent that. It's part of the reason behind the new laws moving homeless people on or fining/charging them. I think we notice it around us when we or others change circumstance, either upward or downward. There don't seem many that can retain their outrage against polite society and accumulated wealth when they're on the receiving end of good fortune/greed. I always come back to that excellent Jesus quote about the hypocrisy of the wealthy (the camel vs needle one) when I think of this. Obviously it's not impossible to be wealthy and good, but it obviously goes against human nature, and logic.
