I would rule out Mother Theresa and Gordon B. Hinckley outright. Damn near everyone else of any kind of level of success and judgement is suspect.

"When I went to college I didn't take any money from WIC, worked all night, took a full load, got straight A's and now I'm a millionaire. If some of the supposed 'downtrodden' would step up & get a work ethic, they wouldn't have to depend on a government handout."

Elitist, on the face of it.

Anyone who adversely judges any other group is a kind of elitist, of some sort.

Only if they have power, and only if the operate from an elitist persepctive.

Your quotation does not refelct an elitist persepctive. It is an opinion abotu laziness.
