Does Your Degree of Privilege Predict Regressive Policy Preferences?
There's a long prevailing stereotype that rich people are like bad, less compassionate and less empathetic. The science supports the fact that generally, the more the richer you are in terms of social class, the less compassionately you are as a human.

And the wealthier you are, the more you prefer economic policies that hurt the poor or benefit the well-to-do.
