| #8 "The rich are different..." (as if we didn't know). Or, there's the one that always made more sense to me, "Whether it's fair or not, people judge you by the way you speak." |

| #7 see: John F'n Kerry, Terezah Heinz Kerry. These people have absolutely NOTHING in common with you other than the desire to pay less less taxes. They do think, however, that you should pay more. As Allahpundit (voted Best Squish Eeyore 2010) noted in a heightened mood of testosterone and guts: "hey rich guys: you can always voluntarily pay more!" |

| #4 cynical where we are trustful I must be rich! Somebody tell my bank! Wait, don't - if they know someone still has assets, they'll know where to go to steal them. |

| #3 Maybe it's something like: I can see you can read emotions of others real well. That must mean you're low class. |

| #2 Seriously, do they have anybody review these things before publishing? I bet you would get identical results if you took two people, one of whom regularly had to do complex tasks all by themselves; and the other, who had to work in a team. The former might be a poor person who works on a line sorting recyclable garbage all by himself. The latter might be a well to do Nurse who is part of a cardiac surgery team. |

| #1 "Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft, where we are hard, cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand." - F. Scott Fitzgerald |
