The capability of being evil lies within each one of us regardless poor or rich. There has been always this association that rich people are evil and they don't deserve what they have. It is very interesting how as a culture collectively sometimes we justify certain behaviors.
I have seen people at Home Depot stealing a screw, not because they can't afford it but because there is this justification that says. "Well, Home Depot is a big business. It won't go broke if I take this 10 Cents screw that I need anyways."
Unfortunately this is not only one person but many having the same rationale.
The man who believes the home he is building may house the devil someday will soon put away his tools.”
― Brendon Burchard, The Motivation Manifesto
This may sound cliché but being poor is a mindset. To succeed and achieve our dreams we go far and beyond by helping each rather than stepping on each other. Lastly we have to promote integrity as a culture. Instead of policing each other, we should police our behavior.
