Money get you power and those who don't have enough, well lets say their lives won't be that much more comforable.

Are you insinuating that greed rules the majority of the world?
My friend greed is only but an aspect of living in a materialist society. We have been taught thru popular culture that those with money can buy happiness in the form of luxurious pleasures outside the reach of a minimum wage family. But that is obviously a lie!... because all working individuals in our society and members of this forum know that
money can buy life itself. Either in the form of better health care insurance, hygiene, healthy food and other basic necessities.
The point being you fail to realize what the capitalist system in the United States is all about.

Pleasures that go beyond basic necessities are like I said are not only illusory but the core ideology behind "lust for power and greed". It might sound strange to some but technology is futher reasserting our role in society and bringing up the values and ideals of humanity in the minds of the people. "We are an industrial society that depends on the individuals that make it a whole breathing living ecosystem. It is a role nowadays that we tend to forget."
