"Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"
Besides mentioning that power alone is sufficient to cause corruption, without needing to be absolute, I think both of us know very well that they were intimating that corruption increases as a function of power. The more power, the more corruption.
So again, do you actually think that so long as poor people have nice cars and food on the table, this ever-increasing corruption won't occur?
