7. The shift to greed is really nefarious.
If you can get a person to think owning something or having money is most important all the time, you can cancel out there entire moral center, making them effectively have no morals.

What event would make you not accept more money for something? only if you think that thing is wrong. So what a person would do for money depends on how many times one of the other things they think is important would not interfere with desire for money. Same thing could be said for other things, but it is easy to see in the world of money first.

The expression that everyone has a price, what does that really mean... If it is true for a person, then they are owned by money.
