So true! I think to some people the attitude is that they paid so much to be there, so why should they have to clean up after themselves. I don't get it at all.
I absolutely hate that mentality.
I'm always ridiculed for saying it, but I think Disney needs to raise prices to increase margin and shrink crowds. Fewer people, better experience. I'm willing to pay more, a lot more, to get that experience. I'd pay $200/day to go to the parks with half the crowd. No doubt about it.
But you'd still be left with a percentage of people who like to leave empty tartar sauce packets.

I love this idea. I'm using it.It drives me crazy, too, and I saw it happening all over WDW when we were there last. If I catch someone in the act, I'm not afraid to pick up their trash, scream at them in a panic that they "must have dropped it accidentally," and hand it back to them. (Knock on wood, this always results in them disposing of it in a trash can, as they're embarrassed to litter when they know someone is watching. Sometimes they even "thank" me, as if to embrace the fiction that it really was an accident. Hopefully it doesn't get me punched in the face one of these days...
If the person isn't around, I just throw it away myself. There's a lovely comfort in knowing that at that moment, at least, I left something better than I found it.
I'm less concerned about rich versus poor and more concerned about crowd volume. If you can minimize the crowds, I don't care what the person's financial status happens to be. I think the crowds and sheer volume of idiots are what ends up ruining experiences, not so much the the individual people. It's the one after the other in tight quarters that gets old.
