“Money doesn't corrupt people — it just reveals who they always were”
Agree
- Character stays constant, circumstances change
- Poor people can be just as greedy
- Wealth amplifies existing traits, not creates new ones
- We all show our true selves under pressure
Disagree
- Power fundamentally changes brain chemistry and behavior
- Anyone can be corrupted given enough temptation
- Good people do bad things with wealth
- Context shapes morality more than inherent character
