What happens when some get the lion's share of wealth for no good reason whatsoever?

Check out this video of an experiment on monkeys, and then the comments below it. I am posting this NOT in a PETA-like attempt at saving the monkeys in this experiment (God knows there are some ugly experiments on animals out there, and this absolutely not the worst by any stretch). I am posting it because it points out what we are seeing in society. Also, "envy" is mentioned, which I don't think has anything to do with it at all.

2. Fair play is hardwired into mammals.

Cooperation is a survival attribute. Maladaptation enables the Romney's of this world to exploit the rest because their thinking is not intuitive to us.

4. I think you've expressed it perfectly. Non-cooperation is a maladaptation, and right wingers have

made it their philosophy of life. I've always suspected that right wing ideology appeals to people who have a lack of conscience or a lower level of it.
