You are incorrect. Seems you are simply making things up here. There are sociological and psychological studies that show that the rich have less empathy, and are less able or willing to understand the situations of others. Even simple experiments with monopoly and distribution of monopoly money show that same human trend. The more you have the less you care about others.
Consider for a moment what it must be like to be rich. I'm not talking about 300k per year, I mean rich, really wealthy. Multi millionaire.
One of the richest men I know is my exwifes uncle. He sold a business for close to $30 mill, and secured an executive level job. No idea what it pays him, but he turned down a job making 2 million a year because it meant he would have to move from Atlanta to Dallas.
I'm sure it has changed him some, but I didn't know him before, so I can't say for sure. His family seems to think it changed him very little, but he is generous with them, so maybe they are just blind to it because they like sucking off his tits, so to speak.
He came back to his hometown for thanksgiving through new years a few years back. One night they threw a party for a lot of their old friends, he and his brother are only about a year apart in age and remain close, so they share many of the same friends. This hometown of his is sort of a shithole. Not much in the way of an economy. His brother managed to marry into one of the more wealthy families in town.
Anyway, the night of the party, the rich brother, named Tim, was really excited to be seeing a lot of his old friends, people he went to high school with and grew up with. Most of them are lucky to make $30k per year in that shitty town. Anyway, he invites a lot of them over, has a lot of really good food there for them, hires a chef to come and make surf n turf. Steaks on the grill, lobster and king crab, lots of really good sides, hires a bar tender to have an open bar for people. Probably dropped 5 thousand dollars that night entertaining all these old friends.
Wouldn't you guess it, nearly everyone of them asked him for money at one point through the night. Little as a few hundred, one guy had balls and asked for a few hundred k to start a business. This really upset Tim.
I think money might change us a little, but what it really changes is people's perception of us. There is an envy associated with it. Those people remember him coming from an average home, probably nothing particularly special about him. They probably think he just got lucky.
They failed to see that the first thing he did was the one thing you'd have to do after high school if you wanted to succeed in that town, which is get the fuck out of it. They never did.
The worst part was is when he would say "let's not let tonight be about money, let's just have a good time and you can call me later" they kept on. Eventually getting kind of frustrated he didn't just open his check book. He said one of them said something like "come on man, $30,000 isn't a lot of money for you."
It goes both ways, is my point. That although having money might change us a little, or a lot, it also changes how people look at you. Although the man dropped thousands of dollars to entertain and see them that night, they all couldnt get over it that he had more than they did, and it upset them, and they felt like they were entitled to at least ask him.
There is an old saying.
"the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer"
And there is a very good reason for it. Those outcomes are mostly based on behavior. And we usually keep doing the same behavior.
So indeed, the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, because, and mostly only because, the rich keep doing what it was that made them rich, and the poor keep doing what it is that is keeping them poor.
