The Power of Money

The Power Of Money Money is the common currency that we all use to purchase goods, helping our lives to be more fulfilling, but over the years money has become a lot more to certain business people who tend to make money a god, they worship over everything else, their wealth has become paramount even to the fact they will destroy people's lives, making it impossible to survive in this world of turmoil. They will start wars if there is a profit to be made and governments always want money from taxpayers around the world, creating taxes that have no real meaning but an excuse to obtain money from all. Money as we know it seems to have lost it's value and will not buy very much these days, creating a breakdown in our lifestyles and causing, depression poverty and death through suicide, because the poor people cannot accept life anymore. The world seems hell bent on the need for greed, rather than a fairer society, it is all controlled by the power of money. Written: 12th June 2013

Oh I have said the same many times. It really is terrible that we live in such a place where money trumps all. Where people will happily ruin other people's lives just to make a buck.
