Conservative activists stereotype liberals and being wealthy to stoke resentment among working- and middle-class whites (which is ironic, considering how class warfare-y that is).
The liberal commentariat evokes the image of the bigoted, undereducated blue-collar conservative when they want to belittle those who disagree with them and allow less-affluent liberals to view their political views in an aspirational way.
I seem to recall seeing a paper somewhere that said partisan identity was more strongly determined by income level in Democratic states (rich people more likely to vote Republican; poor people more likely to vote Democratic) and more strongly determined by social views in Republican states.
