Personally, I don't care if people's passion and focus in life is amassing money; that's their business.
It's a very bizarre focus in life beyond a certain point (a certain point of wealth of course but also a certain point of sacrificing other values for money), but yea really, who thinks about this stuff.

But when they use the money they've accumulated using taxpayer-supported laws and infrastructure to pour money into the campaigns of the Scott Walkers of the world, funding union busters and job exporters and other malefactors, it becomes an issue for me. And now, with the Citizens United decision, there are absolutely no barriers to just outright buying an election, so that we have a de facto government of the very, very rich. Not what the Founding Fathers intended.
+1 it's seems it's become a self-reenforcing feedback loop: buy off the government, government makes laws and spends money in your favor, use profits to buy off the government. Rinse repeat, forever, until maybe eventually the whole thing collapses. Meanwhile not a single policy on anything sane like protecting the environment sees the light of day (it might offend a big polluter somewhere who has .... bought off the government).
