Power and Money should be segregated.
When a person's love is money, he should be in the field of business. Slog away at his work. If he can earn millions of dollars, he deserves it.
If a person's love is power, he goes into politic.
If a person's love is power and money. The peasants would suffer tremendously.
One good example is a $30k new Benz would have to be bought at a price more than 10 times it is worth.
