wealthy people face fewer consequences for their actions, which is also why the wealthy are more likely to get involved in illegal drugs

a middle class person gets pee tested and loses their job, the george bushes become president of the usa if they can't get a real job, it is just not the same consequences

what to us would be a serious life fuck-up (getting caught w. drugs, getting caught w. somebody else's wife) is just something they can make go away w. money, you have to be WAY wealthy these days to afford multiple divorces and marriages

if the guy studying this shit thought the results were "surprising" he must be one clueless kitten! all women know that the wealthier man is much more likely to cheat!

the richer the guy the more he screws around on his wife because 1) she has to put up w. more bullshit because she's getting paid more, and 2) even if she does decide to walk out, he has more ability to support two households after divorce, divorce is just absolutely devastating to a middle class lifestyle and can make it impossible, while it's still maybe cheap at the price for the wealthy man (think tiger woods, losing $750 million to divorce ain't gonna cramp his lifestyle and maybe improved it, because he can spend his other billions more freely now w.out worrying about hiding reality from wifey)
