gangsters in big cities did things to help people in their communities, and they were folk heroes to some.

Money buys respect in the U.S. and around the world.

did you see the movie, The Wolf of Wall Street? It's the same thing - only the criminal activity that made the money was wall street trading.

if that's all someone's life is about... well, I feel sorry for someone like that, tho I'm sure they don't care. I wouldn't want to have their lives, tho, even with all the money.

There are things more important than money, to me.
