Beware the Wealth Bashers

Huffington Post: A new study says rich people are more likely to engage in unethical behaviour than their poorer counterparts — like cutting off motorists, lying in a negotiation and cheating to win a prize.

Before you take this Wealth and Ethics Study seriously, note how they identified "upper-class" motorists. The three criteria were "age, vehicle make and appearance."

Obviously, the researchers were unfamiliar with Thomas Stanley's The Millionaire Next Door. 

Most often, Stanley found, people driving expensive cars weren't rich. They merely liked to drive expensive cars.
