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.
