rich in america

Is there a bias against the rich in America? Or is there a bias against the rich when they have committed a crime, whether white collar or not? We expect those born into priviledge or who gain it behave better than the rest of us. Logically, we all know that they do not, and we even may think that they got to where they are by not following the rules. However, when they are caught and paraded in front of the public, the sense is that they should have known better, been better, behaved better.

Listening to NPR this morning where the phrase "bias against the rich" was used. This paragraph is the start of my thought process on it.
