Watch out for the wealthy

According to the Globe and Mail, studies have recently shown that wealthier people are more likely to break the law, lie and cheat.

A team of professors at the University of Toronto, California and Berkley conducted seven studies all of which involved 1,000 people. These studies showed that the upper-class are more likely to break the law while driving, steal valuables from others, lie in negotiations and cheat in order to gain financial benefits at work.

The reason for this moral difference between classes has been proven by the National Academy of Sciences. It has been said that wealthier people are more likely to believe that greed is good.

In fact, families with lower income are more likely to donate to charity than wealthier families.

Studies have also shown that honesty, integrity and generosity do not come easy for those who are of the upper class.
