People who only care about money

Money is on everyone's minds every day. It's the thing which keeps us going and progressing in life. I'm not talking about the general need for money but I want to talk people who define their life around money. Who want power and control over a society.


I'm going to talk about the common stereotypes like politicians, bankers, and the other groups of people which fit into this bracket.

I think people who are funded by tax payers such as healthcare workers/officials. Who are funded by the state but many who have less compassion for the persons or people they're meant to be caring for but only care about money, and do not work as they should be doing.

I'll give you an example.

I spoke to someone who is quite high up and plays an important role in the healthcare industry. He is meant to be helping people who are very sick. Anyway, I mentioned briefly my brother works and lives in Dubai and he said they don't pay tax in Dubai with a grin on his face as if he wanted it to be the same way here. I think personally the man is greedy. He wants more than he should get, and he is not doing his job he is supposed to do. He is absorbed by money, power, and all the traits which might fit the criteria for a narcissist. It's a sad thing but unfortunately i think power and false sense of self-importance topped off with a very high income can go to their heads. These are the kinds of people who are hypocrites and are thorns in the sides of the public.

It's quite a shame the world is in the shape it is right now. I think there will never be wealth equality with any economical structure efficiently, or in any real effective way which would show growth through every class. I think when a person defines his life by money only and is not doing their job properly. It's quite sad I think. It's quite depressing to see the dark undertones of life many would not even ponder, or even think about.

I have always been fairly secure in life and have never had a problem with money. The difference is between me and these kinds of people is I actually care about others. And you could insinuate I only care about money over other people generally as it is a common belief i think in societies. Although, I think there's a big difference between a narcissist and the common man. I only use my money simply for security. I have given a lot to charity over the years but I now realize the money is not going to help the causes by the percentage put in place by these charities and organizations. I think a lot of the money actually goes to the types of person I mentioned, and in a quite large sized portion, too.

You could say it is only my perception or I am just gathering a notion on how I observe the behaviours of these kinds of people through different experiences. It isn't true and although it could be argued It is only my belief. It also could be argued It is not and is a frequent occurence with money and any political gain from the governments at hand. I think many undesirable traits get associated with money by default, and i believe there's thousands of people who are like this. If not millions.

At the end of the day I'm not against people earning large amounts of money off the masses. I do think they should give a lot back and be more compassionate to the fellow man however. I personally don't think I'm imagining the traits I see in these certain types of people. I think many may fall into the category of a narcissist given all the different types of disorders which are associated with narcissism today. The reality is the pay cheque far outweighs the compassion they have for people. It's a dark undertone and I personally don't feel I am imagining these goings on.

I think these people are taking money off everybody. And they aren't, or are percieved to be doing their jobs properly. You could mention politicians, bankers,...etc... I think they're percieved to be doing their jobs properly as investigations into the workers are on a minimal scale. I'm talking about what they're getting paid for, not what they should be doing. I think people such as healthcare workers who are getting funded by taxes should be more compassionate for people. I guess money makes them smile when they see people dying, or people who are severely disabled, so they can pretend they're helping the vulnerable in society. I think personally these people would argue they're helping others but they're not in most cases. And not just many through my own investigations. And I have left as much possibility of my own biases out the window.


I'll give you another example.

If your mother or father was severely disabled and needs support. Do you think a visit for 10 minutes a week is helping them? When they need help to do their shopping, funding, washing...etc... and you can't be around enough to help them.

I'm not talking about everyone in the healthcare services because many do help and care for a minimum wage where they should be earning a lot more, as many of them are struggling to break even. I think that's where the taxes should go to. The nurses who are working around the clock trying to help the disabled should get all the support and praise for doing their jobs. The one's I'm talking about are the people working as healthcare workers, or officials. They work in teams and are being overpaid and do a very minimal amount of work, and fall short in the amount of work they should be doing for the disabled and many others who are sick and vulnerable. I don't think 10 minutes a week of talking to a person and having a cup of coffee is working in my opinion.

It's not very nice but I think these things go unnoticed in most cases. I think there's many other similar sorts of situations, or problems which the governments tend to shy away from, or want to perhaps hide, or decieve the public in a certain manner. I think the governments know people do not look at the small print anymore, and most will ignore the finer details in life. Which is a shame but i feel it's reality.

I think money will always be controlled where there's not enough to share, so the situation is they do not want to employ, or want a plan to coexist within a certain structure because it isn't necessarily cost effective. I think money will always go to these types of people regardless of where the public thinks their money is going. I think these people only care about money. It isn't obviously these types of people such as politicians, bankers, government workers, tax funded workers,...etc.. who adopt these kinds of traits but these people have control. I generally believe it will always be where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

I think every politician only cares about money and is put in a situation now where they don't have to think because they have others who will go and do the work for them. More finance advisors, more healthcare advisors, more business advisors,...etc... I think they have so many people working for them in the end the information they recieve becomes convoluted and they eventually become hypocritical of opposing parties who disagree, or have their own agendas. You could even argue and say there's many who differentiate from the crowd. Although, I think there are but their product is always the same. It is only advertised with different bells of whistles.

I have looked at statistics and there's many inaccuracies. And there always will be of course. I think a lot of the time their market advisors make up numbers to reassure the president, or prime ministers goals are in place. Money will always come before their goal. I think there's enough money to help everybody. And not just for periods of time. I think these tax evading politicians, healthcare workers, bankers,...etc... Should all come out and speak openly about the earnings every year. I think privacy acts should be breached in order to find out information on how much money they're keeping and holding over the public.

You got to ask yourself where these trillions are going because they aren't going to the people who need them. I guess it will always be that way unless there's some sort of uprising but right now they have a strong stranglehold on the world. I think it's all down to tax havens and where they put this so called wealth they have. I think the numbers are made up but there's simply enough money to help everybody to have a sustainable and healthy life to an extent where they can live comfortably. The funding they give for different types of research is beneficial but i believe most of the time the money gets to a crossroad and the middle man takes it at that point. There's no conspiracy or any political conjuncture which can really argue at this level.

The reality is the money will always go to the greediest and wealthiest. The economy can not be changed by society alone. This isn't nothing you haven't heard before but i believe a lot of the money which gets paid through tax most of the time goes to line peoples pockets who do not deserve it. The money never goes to the problems which need eradicating. You can argue a certain politician has done well through their so-called achievements or has a good looking resume but it seems it never comes out of their pockets to do so. Most of the time the achievements are very minimal but blown out of proportion. I'm talking about Barack Obama, David Cameron, and the other croonies at power at the moment. And Barack Obama in a lot of people's eyes has done well given the resources and problems from the time he was in office.


Anyway, It's just my opinion. You may think there's some fallacies in my statement, or i'm completely wrong and you're entitled to it. I don't think I'm living in an illusion but this is just how see things when money creates power, and how it can change a role of a person.

I think there are some people, a minority that are not obsessed with money as most people.

Westerners seem to think everyone is obsessed with material gains, and they cannot fathom people being true socialists.
 
I think it's a mistake to look at this from the point of view of a personal moral failure. It's a political problem.
