The poor are more ethical

I've written several times about how the rich equate wealth with morality. Paul Buchheit of AlterNet disputes that claim and backs it up with numbers. Five ways the poor are more ethical:

* The rich complain the poor are lazy cheats. However, they cheat much less than the rich.

* The poor care about other people. Part of that is they need other people simply to survive.

* The rich focus on themselves.

* The rich are less generous and the money they donate doesn't go to help those in need. Instead, it goes to universities and cultural institutions.

* The middle class is much better than the rich at creating jobs. Alas, the middle class is getting smaller.
