Why Mitt is an asshole ??? -- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Article Titled "Higher Social Class Predicts Increased Unethical Behavior" - "The New Republic" and A Rosary or Litany of Extremely Dubious Things of Mitt Romney

.

Possible Felonies, Misdeeds and Immoral Behavior of Mitt Romney :

The very dubious behavior of Mitt Romney in Economic, Financial, Political and Tax Matters. The life of Mitt seems like a string of Lies, Deceptions, Deceit, Falsehoods, Hypocrisy, Chicanery, etc

Excerpts :

There is a related way of looking at this question, through the lens of a provocative New York cover story from a few weeks ago which described a new body of research into why it is that people with a lot of money might be more likely to cut corners when it comes to, say, their taxes. The piece's conclusion is pretty blunt:

Earlier this year, Piff, who is 30, published a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that made him semi-famous. Titled “Higher Social Class Predicts Increased Unethical Behavior,” it showed through quizzes, online games, questionnaires, in-lab manipulations, and field studies that living high on the socioeconomic ladder can, colloquially speaking, dehumanize people.

It can make them less ethical, more selfish, more insular, and less compassionate than other people. It can make them more likely, as Piff demonstrated in one of his experiments, to take candy from a bowl of sweets designated for children. 

“While having money doesn’t necessarily make anybody anything,” Piff says, “the rich are way more likely to prioritize their own self-interests above the interests of other people. It makes them more likely to exhibit characteristics that we would stereotypically associate with, say, assholes.”
