You can't set up an attitude in which money is the means to acquire power and expect a republican model of government to thrive.
"Ecumenical" and "economy" come from the same Greek word "oikos" meaning household, dwelling place, family. Thus, "economy" isn't aboutt personal wealth or corporations. It is aboutt the good of the whole human family." -- Diana Butler Bass
