Shame on the Rich

[socialist_n_TN]

4. I believe that wealth and (according to this study), even..........

the PERCEPTION of wealth, creates an "entitlement" attitude. That's why they don't have any problems with dishonesty. They feel "entitled" to what they steal. It's SO ironic that the RW flames an "entitlement attitude" when it comes to the poor and working class, yet this study suggests that the real entitlement attitude is shown by the haves rather than the have nots.

And yes, to sing with the choir here, it's the system that encourages this "entitled" attitude. I've said all along that BECAUSE of the system, the capitalists can't even help themselves. You can't be ethical and be a capitalist. Or at least a good capitalist. All it takes is ONE capitalist to gain an advantage in the market by cheating (whether it's legal cheating or illegal) and they ALL will have to do it or be left behind. You can't rely on "conscious" or "ethical" capitalism because being conscious and ethical is a losing position in the capitalist system.
