I find it strange how often we use money as a justification to treat people poorly. If they have money we are jealous and envious. If they don't we hate blame them, despise them and discount them. Sometimes when you put a star on pedestal that is only so you can hate them worst later.
One thing nice was though, you could be invisible if you wanted to...double edged sword and all - but you get the drift...

I had some articles posted about the sacrificial goddess - it covers the same premise in your post.
