Sure, properly conducted it would be interesting. I'm pretty sure it would prove people vary, but likely poorer people would be more tempted to keep it.

Really?

I didn't think honesty had to do with need. From what I've seen, there are a lot of middle class folks who could care less about things that belong to others.

I think it has to do more with cultural values rather than income level or need level.

Which begs the question of which classes/cultures value honesty over others.
