researchers in the UK and Australia did a pole or actually they did a study to
see
what the long-term a fax up winning the lottery
will be and what they found out in the thousands of people that they
up researched was that if you win two hundred thousand dollars or pounds
or more than not you're likely to change your political ideology from liberal to
conservative you're much more likely
to all the sudden be right way and all hi-lo this story is my favorite story
today
okay because it shows what knuckleheads we all are
it's not like you sell top one percent they're they're bad guys are greedy or
whatever
it's in human nature right that once you get the money
couple things happen one you immediately become convinced that you're earned
yes even if you want to know bruckheimer yeah
and there is a great study the Knights I who won the best stories you've covered
a long time within about a month ago the way they did
give people play Monopoly unfair advantage to him double the money et
cetera et cetera
and by halfway through the game or immediately they said i think im
I'm winning cuz I'm on the better player I think you know you add
you got to live much money do you go you get the wall three-day CD 3 od: know
when you pass go
but the guys literally go around the table look I
right but he's been literally knock it over pretzels
may be allowed lee et cetera and the interview one of the guys they
interviewed afterwards and he's like
I yeah let me tell you about my strategy right I get like
is weird times I've entitlement i do not go over the pretzels
did not go over the battle they were eating the pretzels a lot lately more
pretzels the guys who did not get the already
yes and how so so it's amazing anyway so back to La 21 is they immediately think
it's because I me i i got it right
and the number two they're like well how can I keep more of it yeah right you
know what they don't want to be taxed heavily
yeah even the guys who want to go with that much baby 2010 I hold on hold on
this is my many people right
so the researchers say the larger know when the more people were tempted to go
conservative
and while the researchers also said humans are creatures
a flexible ethics so while we're not sure exactly what goes on inside
people's brains it seems having money causes people to favor conservative
right wing ideas yeah I mean this
pretty much explains the entire political spectrum
not just in the US but obviously everywhere right UK and
and elsewhere the guys who have it want to keep it and they will do whatever it
takes to keep it
and including self-delusion into the leaking I deserve it
I work harder than they do I am
a you know what this will trickle down to them anyway et cetera
and get themselves to believe that there should be lower taxes on the people who
have more well the biggest lie
that they tell themselves and other people so they can keep living that way
is that you hear him say it all the time on Fox News you say
if you're black important if you work hard study you'll be able to make a good
living in America
so if so what that really what they're really saying is
poor blacks are poor because %uh there
own laziness because if you're willing to work hard in America you can make it
and that's the like these guys tell they don't talk about a look at this this be
at this chart we just talked about income inequality
they don't then they always talk about equality a bit opportunity which I know
you also talk about
but they talk about in a little bit of a different way J because they don't want
to talk about results
up an economic system so they talk about well if you're poor and black you have
the opportunity to go to school if you work hard
you the opportunity to get into our economy but that but
doesn't matter that 98 percent from Kate don't do it and we have that the %ah the
the rules are stacked against them
and we have been all these hurdles for them to get over and it's not equal
up putting for them and so they're talking about a different kind of the
coop
equal opportunity then you talk about and that would allow but what about the
one percent that part
like that cuz they're George Soros and you ted kennedy
right how who are these people who could have all that money and still retain
their humanity
and by the way the two guys you name the ones that are attacked
most visually yes because they are seen as as FDR was a traitor to the class yes
because the prove what the other guy saying are is a lie
yes and so that's when he gets so mad at the sources in the kennedys
well when sources no no we don't have to be greedy we can actually pay fair taxes
in Warren Buffett says Sabian the guy who really doesn't want that what are
you okay what are you awake are one at a bar right
right here and they get so mad about the reality is you know there are some
decent people who can get beyond
what is it not going balls great and and so
and may prove that that when they see quality erupted they don't really mean
it gets worse or so the world say is
like like I do hey okay if you really think we should have equal opportunity
one we give those kids in public schools decent bonding
so they can take their books home so they can actually get a fair chance at
an education
why do we give the top twenty percent ok SAT scores
if if they're poor their middle class while they're in Logan West Virginia in
the Bronx
won't give up free education will not be quality puppy for guys 46 e EE but other
causes
under difficult conditions of government money not okay well I don't think my
money
right it'll mean equality of opportunity is an excuse
just like in this study the use whatever excuse to say
to justify keeping their lottery winnings you know every most or as we do
and you know I was %ah and this is covering the me I feel good about myself
because we do stories tonight
i feel everytime as if I'm like everyone else like I'm constantly I and II all
every star we do I realized I'm not exceptional
like yeah I think I wonder what other guys walk things I like it when other
people like you know
nothing special about me in any way after
not in this case like I know I know it to the fiber by being
I with eighteen million dollars tomorrow another $90 million
I mean we like go to my accountant and try to keep my tax rate as low as
possible
of course will I argue though that my tax rate should be higher in order
yes you know me nobody and that's because the other Balaji the
Conservatives goes they were liberals they get all their money they still try
to say where they can head
they're not the right yet gonna play within the rules you get home
we're going to support rules will cost the more every says he says I mean
entirely true either cuz
are like Mitt Romney you're not going to hide your mind became an Iomega
know you're gonna play with him the actual rules swears he's gonna break the
rules
and then speedo find a way to get politicians to say no
it's okay you know what which a there was little but it's okay we keep your
money in the Cayman Islands go ahead
right and that's what they did yeah and I may say
Jesus Christ I it seventeen million dollars in taxes this year
has unbelievable a
anyway have a choice yeah anything i like it
to me there are a few things that are out at home stomach turning your work
more stomach tree then listen to millionaires complain about how much
taxes they pay
yeah that is unbelievable and they do it all the time
and they do it all that said one buffet complained about it like
any candidate it's the matter how you play that
like saying I got I'm I obviously I do very well
alleges pain I suddenly she had just like okay it's like I got a call you
that says that's
that's amazing that the debate I seven million dollars in federal but that
means she obeyed
$285 million dollars right when the guy it kristallnacht that guy from last week
the
said he even said I voted for Jerry Brown even though he raise my taxes
thirty percent
and now what you can't get your fifty at the yacht what the fuck do you need
what are you still longing for that you're pissed off that you click got
but that they're here said tax rate hike that would work on getting that didn't
happen
but what would you have gotten that you don't already have
mister a hundred and fifty million dollar yeah I I have to jump it it
reminds me of a story that we did just a week ago that guy who used to work
on wall street rather young guy who was a millionaire by the time he was 25
years old he said look I had to get that
but now they're because I was addicted to money like I couldn't handle myself
and I realize the more you make the more you want it
so i think is an addiction people it's like you know
whose Google will dozer
expand every mom is watching family gather all the sudden
yeah like every other than okay with that I want to say the F word
no hay do as of today but like
