See i believe in money,power, and respect. A rapper by the name of lil kim wrote a song about it. She said first you get the money , than you get the power, and then people will start to respect you. So basically when you have money you have power, because you can afford to do whatever you want. Once you have power people will start to respect you, because people tend to respect those of higher power than themselves. Depending on your perspective, people may tend to disrespectful just because you have money. However, I believe that power is the best thing a man could have after an education of course. Sometimes people use their power in the wrong way , such as Hitler. Now someone like Barack Obama uses his power and his intellegence to run the united states and that together is a wonderful thing. So therefore, power can be good and bad.
