So the amount of money a person has determines the veracity of their words? It's irrelevant.

But people do tend to believe rich and educated people even when they are talking about issues in which they have no expertise. It's crazy.

I think it's a social status/work thing, people, especially men, tend to identify with their job or profession and when their is high unemployment like in the Rust Belt, they have crises.

maybe if society recognised men as more than their job they wouldn't feel so bad .
