Good post. Extrinsic incentive vs. intrinsic motivation. The dynamics at play when money get's involved to motivate, drive or lead behavior.

The results indicated that upper-class drivers were most likely to cut off other drivers at the intersection, even when controlling to the time of day, driver's sex and age, and the amount of traffic.

In follow-up laboratory studies, upper-class individuals were more likely to exhibit unethical decision-making tendencies (study 3), take valued goods from others (study 4), lie in a negotiation (study 5), cheat to increase their chances of winning a prize (study 6), and endorse unethical behavior at work (study 7) than were lower-class individuals.

Just because of money, some people think that makes them better than others, justifying and excusing their wrong behavior. But the true measure of what makes someone better is their behavior, not their money. They have it asshat backwards. Sounds like some "whales" here... lol

Doing distasteful things for money gives us money for suffering a temporary thing we don't like, so it's a trade-off. Eating lemon, eating brusselsprouts, etc. But doing something immoral that causes harm to another for money should never be accepted. That's when the lower consciousness focus on money at the expense of others takes over, and we justify, to create a "right" for something that is wrong. We can easily believe whatever we want in favor of getting something we want, like money, even when others are harmed. Resteemed and 100% vote ;)
