This is an incredible insight into the mind and psyche of the affluent mentality. Numerous tests show statistically significant results from experiments designed to creat a winning advantage to one randomly chosen player while counting incidents of cheating among all players. These tests were designed to pit either liberals or conservatives at random as a favorably advantaged individual in economic and material wealth against a group discriminated upon with stricter rules and disadvantaged opportunities in games. The results show that increased individual affluence from unfair advantage brings rise to ingratitude for the contributions of others. This is seen in the rise in attitude of entitlement and shift in ethical behavior away from equality and fairness in interaction toward marked four fold increase in cheating. This is proven with repeatable results in many many blind tests and is shown here in this video. A rising gain in personal equity is correlated to change in the belief that personal success is attributed more to self than the efforts of others others and has a direct statistical correlation. This is significant in that it is likely that an attitude develops where wealth will be hoarded rather than shared with those that helped. This is significant evidence supporting government control of extremes in both high and low wage compensations. Additionally it supports equality of opportunity initiatives with progressively increasing tax rates with increasing income brackets, higher minimum wages and management and executive wage caps. It supports the government efforts to compensate for diverse wealth distribution, social class advantage and disadvantage in both education acceptance opportunity and increased consumer protection for lower classes and the underprivileged such as children, elderly, minorities and women. It is proving in many ways an essential necessary safeguard for equitably insuring the opportunity for development of the best minds available regardless of wealth. This is not a bad thing for it provides us all with the best minds among humans to advance our civilizations ability to evolve in a positive way rather than fall prey to the errant whims of thankless empire builders that are four times more likely to cheat to get ahead at the expense of others probably because the intrinsically know it was some fluke that placed them above others in the first place. upworthy/take-two-normal-people-add-money-to-just-one-of-them-and-watch-what-happens-next.
