    You are making assumptions here, ie that they become that away after they got the money… This a basic logical fallacy

        Your entire thesis here rests on a logical fallacy… How else would you end it?

          I end it when people stop the conversation by pointing out that they don’t like the argument style, instead of engaging. Clearly this topic upsets you, and I don’t wish to upset you.

          Let’s agree to disagree.

            This not agree or disagree issue. You were passing a trust me bro as some sort of fact and got called on it. Just take the L with dignity, boomer

              You just don’t like that I’m suggesting that if you were rich and powerful, you would inevitably be corrupted.

              My point was eventually to arrive at how people should not be allowed to become too rich or powerful.

              Please, my dude, accept the L with dignity.

                You are assuming that people become corrupted after they obtain wealth instead

                When there is another example that is just as feasible, ie they obtained wealth because they are corrupt.

                There is really no way to know which one is true either. So passing one or the other as a maxim is disingenuous.

                While I do agree with final conclusion, the premise you lead with doesn’t hold to scrutiny.
