from the NYT?

On edit: It's the other way around, values and ethics change when you're poor or struggling..when you have to decide rather to eat or steal. And I've found that the rich do "whatever it takes" to make more money. Reminds me of a scene in "Body Heat" where Richard Crenna tells William Hurt that he's the one the big guys hire to "do what it takes" to get a job done.
