    Not enough information. Someone's financial situation has little to do with them being a "better person" in my opinion.

    For all I know the rich person could be Gadaffi and the poor person could be Jesus.

    Unfortunately, you're not going to trick any of the wealth-worshippers into flatly stating their perspective.

    Yeah, admittedly terrible thread......I am proud of ClutchFans though....I have some friends on both sides who would vote the rich or poor guy was probably better.

    I'm surprised you didn't vote for poor people being better.

    Just for clarification, are you referring to those that worship their own wealth, or those that covet thy neighbor's.

    The rich man is either an evil republican or an NBA player during the lockout. The poor guy is probably a dumb republican who votes to whomever Rush Limbaugh tells him to.

    I don't think its a bad question, actually. Just can't expect everyone to give an honest answer.

    I'm referring to those who clearly believe that the possession of wealth is equivalent to possessing good qualities - intelligence, work ethic, and so forth.

    Of course, you already know what I'm referring to.
