Snicker

Remember - the following is a statistic - it is "on" average and doesn't mean everyone...

ABC News reports:
Scientists at the University of California at Berkeley analyzed a person’s rank in society (measured by wealth, occupational prestige and education) and found that those who were richer were more likely to cheat, lie and break the law than those who were poorer.

“We found that it is much more prevalent for people in the higher ranks of society to see greed and self-interest … as good pursuits,” said Paul Piff, lead author of the study and a doctoral candidate at Berkeley. “This resonates with a lot of current events these days.”

Political Joke

Speeding down a country road, a bus full of politicians swerved into a field and crashed into a tree. The farmer who owned the field went over to investigate. Then he dug a hole and buried all the politicians.

A few days later the sheriff drove by and saw the overturned bus. He knocked on the farmhouse door and asked where all the politicians had gone. The farmer said he had buried them.

"They were all dead?" asked the sheriff.

Replied the farmer: "Well, some of them said they were not, but you know how politicians can lie."
