We should enrich everybody. All of those examples are symptoms of people short on time, which in our society is usually synonymous with short on money. I don't think many people would choose to drive recklessly while eating and tossing their trash out the window. That's something I'd expect from a person who has to be at work at EARLY:00 on-the-dot, maybe working multiple jobs, but generally just trying to survive another day.



I don't know, pretty sure the teenagers racing their cars on the road near my house at 3 in the morning aren't late to work.


That sounds rediculous. Plenty of rich people are assholes too. If anything, i think the sterotype would be entitled rich (or at least not poor) people who think the rules don't apply to them are more likely to commit "low-level" offenses.


I have millionaire asshole neighbors who drive their firraris at 50mph through my 15mph street. Their kids leave their litter on the street where they drink & do drugs.

Not being an asshole does not take effort, it takes basic respect.


> it takes basic respect

I totally agree! But I also try to give it if I hope to receive it since there is no One Society that doesn't also include the asshole millionaires :)
