Does money corrupt, or is money attractive to questionable people? - Lemmy.World

I was gonna include a third option about how money is easier to achieve without considering the morality of your actions but that’s not really a philosophy as much as it is an objective fact.

In this world, money is power, and power absolutely does corrupt people.

I’ve seen a lot a fair amount of people that started off with humble beginnings, got really popular, made a ton of money, and turned into shitbags as a result because they can just fork up a bunch of cash to make problems go away.

Money and power enables you to get away with immoral stuff, if not straight up illegal.
