Need another reason to irrationally loathe all those people who make more money than you? Here's a great one.

--According to a really interesting new study, rich people are actually much more likely to SHOPLIFT than poorer people.

--The study found that Americans who make over $70,000-a-year are 30% more likely to shoplift than people earning $20,000-a-year or less.

--Rachel Shteir is the author of a book called "The Steal", which is all about rich people who shoplift. And she says there are two main reasons.

--One, entitlement. Richer people develop a sense that it's fine if they occasionally steal lipstick or batteries or whatever because they've spent so much at the store in the past.

--And two, RAGE. Shteir says that rich people have trouble handling their little problems . . . they feel like being rich should make those problems go away, and it doesn't . . . so they take their anger out on something impersonal like a store.
