Your opinion is not an argument, every scientific study proving you are wrong demonstrates the truth:

Maybe UC Berkeley is good enough for you?

I suppose, the most naive is the one who believes we can't read comments above, and see where it started, and who's trying to pivot.

Btw, I opened the very first "scientific proof" you offered, and it happens to be a story with no links or data about one cool student's deep studies where people who believe stealing isn't so bad steal more often, and that's why upper class is bad-bad. So how do I know you didn't even try to read it before posting?

"...In seven separate studies conducted on the UC Berkeley campus, in the San Francisco Bay Area and nationwide, UC Berkeley researchers consistently found that upper-class participants were more likely to lie and cheat when gambling or negotiating; cut people off when driving, and endorse unethical behavior in the workplace.

“The increased unethical tendencies of upper-class individuals are driven, in part, by their more favorable attitudes toward greed,” said Paul Piff, a doctoral student in psychology at UC Berkeley and lead author of the paper published today (Monday, Feb. 27) in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences..."

		Wow! So I correctly described it? It's a student's work, there's no data attached, and the whole matter is about "greed to be the most significant predictor of unethical behavior" just expressed in class war terms.

The point I was responding to was claiming rich people lose their ability to self-regulate. You are posting about them being mean, more narcissistic and more greedy.
