....encountered with regard to this phenomenon?

    There is an old hippy adage, "A*s, grass or gas" no one rides for free. I am a firm believer in the fact that if you want to get ahead in life you work hard and make opportunities for yourself. No one will do it for you. As far as "Money talks, BS walks", it has been turned around in our gimme society, and now the sobber the story the more likely people will milk off those of us who actually pay taxes and pay our bills. I'd love to see this reverse.. People should NOT be allowed suck hind teat off society..

    I don't care how much influence I have as long as I can pay my bills and put food on the table for my kids and I can put money aside for their college and my retirement. Anything more then that my wife spends frivolously!!

    I seriously loathe that phrase "Money Talks" My dreams of becoming an elected prosc. attn. fell off the face of the earth. I have always wanted to be a lawyer since I was 8. Now im in college for criminal justice to fullfil my dreams... til the phrase... Money talks. I was on both sides of the fence... I had friends that got in trouble big time... was going to serve... 49 years... but since money talks... quote unquote from a assistant prosc attn working on this particular case... so further more... dreams crushed.. thinking that you can make a difference by joining the law field... but in all actuallity... there is no justice if there is money... you can get away from anything ... basicly. Well I have several friends.. like i said... on both sides... criminals... and the law enforcers. And what I know about both sides is... hey... hell if i have money.. i can get a slap on the wrist for what? selling drugs... and grand theft... and burning houses for insurance claims... but in visa versa aswell... prosc attns. sitting on cases to benifit theirselves... and for what again? Money... thats just going to drop out the pocket on a new 300m with 22s... lol So there is no justice in the law field when the phrase... money talks is around. That just tells me that the law doesnt matter... if I can make a quick buck to be happy for a sec.

    Thats my opinion!! Sorry if it was to mean.. lol :)

    Education in order to make money talks. You can't get anywhere without secondary education these days. That includes influencing corporations and large groups. You have to become an expert in your field.
