About This Quote
The truth is that rich people are not more corrupt than poor people. Rich people may be more apt to do wrong, but poor people are just as corrupt as the richest among us. The reason that rich people aren’t as corrupt as poor people is because they don’t have as many opportunities to do wrong. We all know that the rich suffer from the same social ills as everyone else, such as poverty and unemployment.
Plus, those with the most money and the most power spend time and money trying to influence government policy and legislation. The rich therefore have an incentive to try and change laws and regulations so that they can continue to enjoy their lifestyle.
