ok maybe not that but the reverse I would refuse

Yeah, that's called the Ultimatum Game, and in fact most Americans would refuse one hundred dollars if it meant someone else got one million. It just seems fundamentally unfair.

There are "debt" cultures, like Pakistan, where one person says "Hell yeah I'll take the hundred dollars" and the other person says "I refuse the million dollars, I'll be in his debt for life."
