I understand what you're saying, I'm just trying to understand why it's all tied up in how much money someone has. If it's just a case of people being sociopaths/psychopaths, why does it matter if they have money?
I understand that money can buy bad people out of trouble, but there must be a reason why people associate the very wealthy with the horrible things Q speaks of. And surely it can't be all wealthy people who do these things. There must be some middle-income or even low-income psychopaths out there.
I'm not trying to contradict what you're saying. I'm just trying to understand how and why wealth got tied into the defining criteria here.
If it just means "psychopath" or "sociopath" or similar, why not just use those words? Why bring wealth into it?
If you're filthy rich and also a psychopath, you will have the reach to do tremendous damage - sometimes on a worldwide. You can buy companies, elections, people, countries, everything, and bend them to your will. We're watching that right now.
If you're poor and a psychopath, you become a homeless serial killer. Still extremely damaging but just on a smaller scale.

Because Money = Power. Control. Influence.

That's really the only difference.
That makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.
Its not tied up in money. It's tied to the "love of money".
