Knowledge is power. Money is a tool to use that power.

Money gives you options.....
A lot of money can give you power..yes..influence too.

Not necessarily, but "no money" is usually "no power".

True and this is why it must be removed from campaigns and public funds used to mount campaigns and give each candidate the same amount to finance their run. Corporations and money cartels buy politicians who do their bidding and this is destroying the middle class via taxation and low wages in lieu of fairness.

Mostly true. The wealthiest one percent of people control the world's laws and are generally backed by fundamental religious groups

Neither true or false.

Money is not power, but it is a potential power-tool. My parents were both obsessed with it and the status it gave them. I went the opposite way once i was old enough to think for myself.

I view money to be much like the power of intellect, voice, words, or even a gun. They can all be used to overpower others, but can also be used to help others.

I've always been paid very well for what i did, so it has never been really important except as a freedom tool. Money was always just there when i needed it. Now that i have very little, i am still as free as i want to be, and maintain my freedom in many other ways and with other tools.

Which is exactly why i believe what i do about money.

Its power and security, but does not purchase happiness or i say it Love!

in America, like it or not, money buys everything. Influence, freedom,power and privilege just to name a few.

That depends on what you mean by power, doesn't it?

Unfortunately, money buys power, but not justice.

It is a form of power, but knowledge is as well.

If you have enough and power is your goal, sure. Poverty sure ain't.

False It is the person who wields it.

As I see it, money is an accounting system that keeps track of the interchanges between you and society. Assuming you’re not a robber the money you have equals your contributions less the goods and services you used. So yes, interacting with society by trading gives individuals MUCH more power than trying to go it alone.

But that power is limited to the offerings of society. For real personal power, joy, and freedom, in addition to money you need deep conscious awareness, appreciation, and gratitude for the staggering implications of the gift of life.

Try getting by without any, you are powerless.

it gives you the power to make loans to friends if they know you have it to loan. seems like more money you have the less people like you

If you have enough, most definitely.

Money certainly is influence

Money can be used to buy power but mostly it buys headaches...

Both true and false. Money can’t buy you every sort of power, but it can buy quite a few. Mostly though money is freedom and security.

Depends what the power is. For control and authority, yes. For freedom and peace of mind, no

Unfortunately true.

yes

It absolutely is.

It doesn't hurt to that end.
