Gen.6:5And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Note: It does not say And God saw that the wickedness of rich men was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his rich heart was only evil continually.
It was all man. (And it was before PCism, so man is human being not merely the male gender.)

Not really. The crimes simply differ. Hubby worked on a government base and someone got the brilliant idea to bring in parolee prisoners living in a halfway house. They were all rich or used-to-be rich men. They all had their stories and most used to live in areas of North Jersey known for upper-middle-class to lower-upper-class cities. The only reason some of the men were no longer rich is because the government takes away everything from the person when they are bused for being high-level drug traffickers. (They WERE middle-class men, not merely poor men who lived the good life for a while.) Others were busted for criminal activity related to their IT jobs. Great hackers or great phishers, but they had the education to go that way, so they weren't poor either. (They weren't allowed to use computers until released out into the world again, yet the bosses on the base were stupid enough to use those guys in the computer room. One got busted and sent back to prison for doing the same thing that got him in prison to begin with.) Many were ex-Wall Street guys who did inside trading.
Of all the men they brought in, only one guy didn't deserve prison time. He bought a big chunk of land and started building his house on there. Why is that illegal? Well, there was this large puddle on his land. Dry half the year and wetland the other half. Not enough to have fish live in it, but the EPA said he wasn't allowed to fill in that puddle because it was "protected wetlands." (IT WAS A LARGE PUDDLE!!!) 60 Minutes did a story on him, but he was still fighting his sentence to the point of almost finishing his time in prison.
Rich people go to prison. It's just not usually sensational stories, so we don't hear those stories often.
I'm very disturbed how many people here seem to give all sorts of philosophies about the rich or the poor that has noting to do with Christianity and very much what is being taught in the world.

Do you serve wading boots with this pile of manure? Exactly how much indoctrination have you received from the media and education system? There's not a shred of truth in what you say. Africa's richest before Europeans showed up was their slave trading. They got richer when they found other continents who wanted the slaves at better prices.

the media and education system would support your view not mine. history is always written by the winners. the truth is in Africa itself not a book. how did they get so poverty-stricken? bad luck?stupidity? i dont buy that, they were made that way by western influence. just like India, Ireland and every little Caribbean country.
the slave market was not created by Africans. yes they sold them and just like today you have corrupt african officials selling out to big business thats always anglo-american.
read the history of the united fruit company and that will give you a good idea of how it really works

I was once hired by a poor man. Alas, he had no work for me, because he was so poor, he didn't advertise his business so had no customers. (I'm not kidding.)
So, I really, really appreciate rich people. I would never have had a job without them.
So, if you are so against rich people, don't work for one. And don't beg for food because you have no job.
