[QUOTE="sjh, post: 1172652, member: 41657"] Huh? What? No, the monopoly game wasn't about ethics - it was about behavior. It was about how people started to act when they knew they were ahead of the game. I've seen it happen with my own sister and her husband. He got a job with a very well known social media site and suddenly he's driving in the carpool lane alone because he values his time more than a ticket or the law, and she figured out a very clever way to return a shirt she had washed and worn, despite the store's known policy against that. They're very very critical of restaurant food and I've never eaten out with them without them sending food back or complaining. Big adjustment in their mindset since they came into "money." Your homeowner tax deduction is a pretty bad analogy. Our country's debt problem has nothing to do with people buying homes. People aren't filling out their taxes then turning around and playing the part of an elitist because they got a tax deduction. However, the study indicates that behavior in people is often dictated by their income. When people are suddenly treated as 'more important than' or 'rich' they begin to treat others as less than. You can't deny that. If you want to explain it off as "perception" (???), then do so, but in my opinion, it just makes you sound cocky and arrogant. But I'm guessing you don't care. [/QUOTE]
