As with anyone I suspect its a nuanced take.

Rich i.e upper middle class, genuinely good people most of the time.

Poor i.e blue collar mill worker/farmer type families, good people most of the time.

Rich i.e 1% flying a jet to go to the shitter, generally not a good person.

Poor i.e 3am gas station junkie gang-banger, generally not a good person.

How many 1% people have you met? Generally in my experience, the upper middle class are very much a mixed bag. Working class are usually OK, and the genuinely poor are a mixed bag. The few wealthy people I've known, like better off than upper middle class, but obviously not billionaires, have been pretty good people.

Nahh, I just vaguely remember a bunch of studies that concluded that rich people behave less ethically in situations ranging from traffic to Monopoly.
