alt Hacker NewsThe problem is that people equate money to power and power to evil.
So no matter what, if you do something lots of people like (and hence compensate you for), you will be evil.
It's a very interesting quirk of human intuition.

Money and power are good when used democratically to clearly benefit the majority of the people. They are bad otherwise. It is hard to see this because we live in such a regime that exists in the negative space seemingly without beginning or end. Other countries have different relationships to their population.
A reasonable conclusion, considering that money and power seem to have their own gravity, so people with more of both end up getting even more of both, and vice versa.
Can't blame someone who comes to such a conclusion about money and power.
