[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say it might depend on how you obtained your wealth - by your own work, or through your parents or husband.[/quote]

Reasonably well off here and I know and deal with a lot of people who are very wealthy. I imagine there is some truth to the studies on the average, i.e., people who are willing to take advantage of others without scruples are more likely to get ahead, and this is skewed by a judicial system that makes it far harder to prosecute and convict rich people and by the fact that lots of scummy, underhanded tactics are not regarded as crimes. Some of the people I've dealt with are very low on the human scale--they'd probably sell off their own family if it could help them get a ahead. On the other hand, I also know plenty of very rich people who are very nice, generous, humble, honest to a fault and totally grounded in reality.
So while being willing to cheat is more likely to make you rich, being rich in no way implies that you are more likely to cheat.[/quote]
