   Certainly those at the top do not think they are coercing, while   
   others think they are.   
      
   So, it is rubbish for those well off to dismiss this observation as   
   rubbish.

   >Argumentum ad lazarum, or appeal to poverty, is a logical fallacy where a

   That would be correct, but not what your assertion says   
      
   >“Monks are more likely to possess insight into the meaning of life, as   
   >they have given up the distractions of wealth.”   
      
   The important thing is not that they are poor, but that they have   
   chosen to not be influenced by the distractions of wealth.  That is   
   what makes them more likely to possess insight.   
      
   Again, that point will be invisible to the wealthy.  Or as jesus said,   
   seeing that would be like them passing through the eye of a needle.
