They may start as Ordinary People, the problem is that having a lot of $Money$ also brings a lot of POWER.
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Yes, the asymmetry of power that money produces generates misery. I found a video on the subject. The video talks about a book I read a few years ago. I found the book when I was thinking about inequality, and I had suspected that it is more the root of evil than money itself. Far more the root. The book mentioned provided scientific evidence for my conclusions. The asymmetries money generates pollutes normal human relations.
The video presenter says his new understanding fundamentally changed the way he understands the world. This is no exaggeration. The same thing happened to me.
Reduce inequality and generate democracy. The answer to our woes is simple. Instead stupidity dooms us.
