Money over Power? Which is worth more to you?

I'd rather have money. Power almost always comes with publicity, and I'd like to be as much behind-the-scenes as possible. Money is also mobile, power is usually tied to a certain geographic region where you have a following.
 


Money is just an idea; a medium of exchange...

Very few people with true power can't get all the money they desire (IMHO).

Actually, they don't need money because they can skip a step - they don't have to buy what other people use money for (to exchange it for goods and services); they just have it given to them (or taken).

You are correct! Look at Obama. Sure he is a multi-millionaire because of his books but look at the power that he has. He could walk into a poor, poverty ridden area and pull out millions of dollars from the ignorant and misinformed.
 
Either, if you have one, you will automatically get the other.
