I honestly cannot imagine making $7.25 an hour in today's economy. If I was honestly limited to those two choices as far as legal jobs go, I'd become a criminal and make some decent money instead.

Thankfully, I'm not limited to those two choices, so I don't have to resort to crime.

I don't see how this answers the question.
 
All else being equal there is no difference.



Humans in general?
Or, specifically, Americans or Europeans or wherever?? Where was this "research" carried out?

It is true that there are always cultural differences to be considered. My memory says that there were cross cultural studies that found differences but that the general behavior was human and not cultural.

This unscientific poll suggest that most people aren't impacted by their desire to be superior to others. Are they lying to us? Lying to themselves? What is going on?

Unscientific and a very limited geography and culture.
How many on here are from somewhere other than the US and how many of those answered your poll?

I'll have to do some more looking but my first run at that only turned up America and Western Europe.
