No money, no influence

[Starmix]

I firmly agree with this statement that when there's no money there's no influence. Well, I don't know your stand of this, but it's what I always observed in the society that those wealthy, and those high ranking officials in the military and police have a strong influence and connection, which is why, it's easy for them to apply for a driver's licence, renew driver's licence, park anywhere, and get good connection everywhere because of money power. With money everything they want can be instantly accessed. What a pity to the less superior, they have to endure when there's something they request to an office.

Somehow, people realize that being financially unlucky, they have to endure. What matters is there's always a little money to survive and be proud of being honest and resourceful. Patience and consistency are keys to endure and succeed.

I completely understand your point, and I’ve seen similar patterns in society. Money often acts as a shortcut to influence, opening doors that remain closed for those without wealth or connections. It’s frustrating to watch how certain individuals can bypass rules, get licenses renewed instantly, or enjoy privileges simply because of their financial status. At the same time, I think it’s important to recognize the quiet strength of those who endure without such advantages. Honesty, resourcefulness, and patience may not bring instant rewards, but they build character and resilience over time. Many people who start with little eventually succeed because they remain consistent and disciplined, even when the odds are stacked against them. While money power is real, it doesn’t define true worth. In the end, integrity and persistence can create influence of their own, one that cannot be bought but must be earned.

It seems we cannnot change the image of our society, having the rich overpowered the poor. The rich are proud and always have the confidence that they can get what they want.

At the end of the day, you need money to do almost anything, or to even have a say in your local community.

That is always the picture of a society that those who are rich get much attention, connection and influence.

I agree that if you have money, you have influence. You can communicate directly with government officials and have a say in policy making. As for the poor, if they want to speak out, they have to form an alliance and get a legislative member to represent them.

That's so true, it's easy for the influential person to approach any government official to approve in something. In fact by just mentioning only the name of the influential person, there's always a yes to a request. Whereas for the poor they have to get a good connection to be approved of any request.

Unfortunately, this is the reality. Furthermore, nowadays the gap between the truly wealthy and the less wealthy is increasingly wide. In my opinion, this is wrong!

That's right it's wrong but it's real happening even in my place
, the government officials entertain right away the wealthy when there's something they request and never follow the protocol to fall in line.

Government employees and politicians are very powerful they can destroy the life of investors from poorer communities making fake allegations without proof.

Gone are the days when people could be influential because of the knowledge they possessed. It is all about money now. Money determines prestige that one gets.

Money makes strong connections especially to politicians. Politicians are influential and if you're known to them most likely you offered them money for vote buying. That's the effect to get influenced.
