Rich people "more likely to lie, cheat, and break the law"

What we always knew has been proven scientifically - rich people are more likely to lie, cheat and break the law.

A new report in "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences" has done a series of experiments that show the wealthy are more likely to:

not stop for pedestrians when driving
cheat at dice games
steal sweets meant for kids

This is allowing for other factors like age, so it isn't just that older people are like this just because they are more likely to be better off than younger people.

What is bizarre as well is that the bastion of conservatism, the Hate Mail is reporting it:
