"Now, two researchers from the United Kingdom say they have proved that having money makes you more conservative and less egalitarian. Nattavudh Powdthavee and Andrew J. Oswald studied the political opinions of people who won the lottery over time and found that the larger the lottery win, the more likely the winners are to adopt right-wing views and believe less in society's role in making sure ordinary people "get a fair share of society's wealth."" Zachary A. Goldfarb in The Washington Post.
