We can only blame ourselves for allowing our fellow man for using money against us, this makes the men on both sides of the money corrupt.
Money gives power, gives a person status over others, and so it corrupts. It's based on the - The more you got the more you get, principle. No fairness, it's a limiting thing.
If you don't have it, you get nothing. Large corporations when told that they were affecting the earth through global warming refuse to act because it'll effect their profits, = CORRUPTION! Many rich nations act just the same.
It's evil because it's selfish and it corrupts.
Countries, businesses, the rich always seem to think of small bits of paper with some face on it before thinking about others, the environment and even life itself. Lots of people end up looking down on others when they have lots of paper in their wallets or bank account.
You are a money loving, blind and corrupt man in my opinion. A disgrace.
I've been out of work for a year and a half, that sound like a money lover to you. I do like having money to pay bills and buy woodworking tools, a few Rotties and some fishing gear once in a great while. I'm satisfied with having a life where there are not a lot of things I want. So, take your opinion and place it in the trash where it belongs.
I know several people who have lots of money and they use it to help those in need, they do not try and show off what they have and they give, give, and give so your little theory only applies to those who are corrupt in their hearts to begin with, why would you lump all the rich together, biased me thinks. Seems to me the ones who allow themselves to be corrupted by money, already have the corruption in their hearts.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
