Forget everything else about your post (I agree, I wouldn't press the button either and it is not a close decision) - looking at the above and.. I can't help but think you've got a pretty weird image built up in your head of what rich people are like. Do you think it's somehow an advantage to be a sociopath, to the point where a good proportion of rich people owe their success to having that kind of an affliction?

Anyway, I don't mean to rag on you man. I'm just kind of shocked you'd say something like that. I've heard of contempt for the rich before but to refer to them as being mostly sociopaths is... well, damn. I have always thought that most very rich people got to where they are in no small part due to their likeability and outgoing personalities. So strange that you'd sort of claim the opposite as the truth, sort of en passant as if there were nothing to be argued about there.
