"There are some problems where you have to say, 'You know, you are going to have to figure out how to live your own miserable life because you clearly don't want to learn from me how to be unmiserable.'"
— Newt Gingrich on Afghanistan

And the confusion. And the sheer befuddlement of his ex's.

Are rich people more likely to be morally corrupt than poorer people? Seven studies with widely varying parameters would suggest as much. The studies varied from watching the behavior of expensive cars vs cheap cars at an intersection to having participants imagine they were rich or poor and then give them a jar of candy to be given to a room of children and see how much candy the participant takes.

Interesting stuff. And yet another Downton Abbey reference. I would love to see these studies repeated in other countries to see if it tracks consistently across national borders.
