Nobody ever said it wasn't fun to have power!

OTOH, give money and power to corporations or warlords, it's even worse. So easy to make anti-government jokes, but in a lot of cases, the alternatives are worse.

(Giving money and power to good government is like giving whiskey and car keys to parents?)

I'm not sure I'd trust anyone with money and power; not many warlords or corporations, that's for sure. They tend to take it anyway (by definition).
