Guess it’s a new lie every day.
Will liberal/progs will be all for that, right????? After all, hedonism is “all the rage” these days. Whatever makes you feel good?
We definitely have way too many “scientists” in this country if this is all they can find to do with their time.
UC Berkley, you say. Then we can be comfortable there is no chance of even the smallish degree of bias. It must be an election year with a rich jerk running against a commie for something or another.
I only seem to see your average leftist broke loser doing the greed/cheat thing.
For whatever reason, Rat affiliation is over-represented among the super rich (as well as the super poor). Might or might not mean anything.
“UC Berkeley researchers observed”
Wow, a liberal, anti-capitalist school which observed that rich people are baaaaaddddd...
Did this study take 5 seconds?
I rather doubt these results have much validity. Judging from things I’ve seen tax-wise, there’s plenty o cheatin’ going on at the 99% level.
How many armed bank robberies and convenience store hold ups were done by rich people?
Of course, these ‘researchers’ only studied the attitudes of rich bay area liberals compared to poor bay area liberals; make of the ‘results’ whatever you will.
I have to say that I know people like that but most of them aren’t rich.
I would say that some of those personality traits can help make you rich because you don’t care about anyone but yourself and it doesn’t feel bad to take advantage of others misfortunes.
I guess the prison echelon is all nice and sweet and that’s why they’re in prison.
Jon Corzine, Nancy Pelosi, Al Gore. Maybe they’re on to something.
The biggest problem I see is that a) it is research from Berkeley and b) they studied the Bay area which has notoriously liberal rich folks (it is after all the home of Pelosi and Boxer and Newsome and Brown). the sense of entitlement amongst these kinds of people is legendary
Actually in my experience I have found the wealthy to be very generous, honest, forthright people. If one considered drive and the desire to make money greed then yes, I guess since I am driven and enjoy making money I could be considered by a commie as greedy. That last point is a compliment.
This is true for me. :) Another reason /i think some people resent and feel different than the wealthy. Wealthy people I know are very respectful and polite to all people. If you don't do that that people without money hate you. Yet those same people that aren't wealthy often group in their own income bracket and judge the rest harshly. Go figure.
As a result, their self-interest reigns and they have fewer qualms about breaking the rules.
I think the latter has to do with they are more conscious of the ticket price and time to take off work. That would explain that. Tickets cost money and sometimes time. Both of which people with less money do not have much of. (If they are working)
