Well, I'm evolving my rich people theory as you post, so thanks for your inputs.

Ok, I agree that being poor doesn't make you a patriot.

Still, that doesn't make invalid the point that rich people are unpatriotic by default, and the ones that are patriotic should be considered the exection and not the rule.
The extent of a rich people's loyalty can only be tested when and if his country's economy takes the silver bullet. A war is not test enough, especially not a war on foreign territory.
