There are evil bastards and horrendous witches who fall on ALL levels of the socioeconmic scale.

Conversely, there are very compassionate and giving people who are rich, middle class and poor.

You can't generalize and stereotype--based on income.

Many people who are rich work very hard, and they are very talented. However, some rich people didn't do anything to get the money they have. Also--there are many working poor and middle class people in this country who work DAMN hard. Some work three jobs. Many single mothers work two jobs and take care of children--working just as many hours as a wealthy CEO. Many stay-at-home mothers make no income--but their skills and patience profoundly impact the lives of their children.

Also, many poor people or working class people may be talented--but they may not be nationally recognized for it--in the same way that rich CEOs, authors, stockbrokers or media personality are.

I don't agree with the underlying suppositions of the initial question. This shouldn't be a devils/angels question---because the question forces people to make a false choice about people based on income. I don't think it can be done.

I don't think this is a valid question.
