its the fake rich, bankers and money changers

the real rich are the people who work and become rich by merit

Hey! I'm lazy and waste all my money yet ain't rich so it must be because the rich are evil...

I'm glad I'm not the only one that laughs at all the hate rich people get recently.

When almost all the gains in the past few decades have gone to the top, don't expect people to suddenly be happy with it, and think it is wonderful and seek to sing the praises.  Do expect that there will be people silent and not fully supportive, and those who actively complain about it and point it out.  You also have a portion who are actively resentful and envious of it.

By the way, note the article and the scientific research here.  It showed that people with more money generally acted more unethically.  It doesn't mean all, just a trend.  You can debunk it by pointing out your own incompetencies, but you aren't the full sample size, just one person.

Hahah, you're just proving my point with everything you say!

Let's think of making money as a game. You keep playing with a friend over and over and he keeps on winning. Instead of admitting he is a better player or your strategy sucks, you accuse him of cheating. At least in America and the majority of the world the game is fair and the winner doesn't cheat. If he did he may win a game or two but he'll usually get caught before making big money.

A major concept in business is if you set out to make money you will do ok. If you set out to make strong relationships and please the consumer you can do far better. If Scrooge was real, he would have been a horrible business man. (I do realize I'm going off on a tangent)

That can be said.  But the scientific studies show that people were being unethical who had more money.  It isn't a matter of being innovative, and thinking differently, and doing differently, it is a matter of actually cheating.  That is what the studies showed there.
