Male Professionals with Higher Ethical Standards Earn Less
Although companies have focused greater attention on the need for
ethical practices over the past few decades, male business
professionals who self-report high ethical character earn, on average,

*Self-report* high ethical character????? Are you effing kidding??

They proly earn 3.4% less bec they are delusional.... LOL


Not so fast...

Implicit is that the higher earners "self-reported" as having lower (or at
least average) "ethical standards"


3.4% less than their peers who don't report having such standards,
according to an analysis of data on thousands of students by Andrew
Hussey of the University of Memphis. Moreover, men who reported that
their MBA programs enhanced their ethical standards received 6.5%
lower wages than men who reported no such gain. For women, the
situation is different: Female professionals who self-report high
ethical standards receive no pay penalty, and women who said that
their schooling had raised their standards received a premium
averaging 5.5%.

In the current zeitgeist today, truly ethical people are lucky they are
not homeless.

Unfortunately, most assholes view "paying dey taxes" as responsible and
ethical.

No, assholes who cheat on their taxes need to be punished and any ill-gotten
assets confiscated.

And paying taxes, in the current scheme of things, is actually un-ethical.
And cowardly.... but an understandable cowardice.

If you you really think it would be a good thing if everybody simply refused
to pay taxes then your head needs examined.

Really you do.

Sheeit, I pay my taxes, and go into a fukn rage every fukn April.
