The reason why it seems that many of the 1% are sociopaths is simply because they are. The reason for this is that society, especially American, British and other Anglocentric cultures embraces sociopathic behaviour and lauds it as good and even noble!
I live in Canada now but grew up in the United States. Even in second grade, when I pointed out that another kid was being harassed, the teacher said, "just worry about yourself. If they have a problem, they can handle it themselves." Looking out for others is almost a cultural taboo in the United States.
